I just got sleeved a month ago, two days ago I ended up in the ER to extreme foot pain. It turns out I got gout, only way to relieve pain is NSAIDs. Codine and such has no effect. We paged my surgeon and she allowed a modified dosage with Omiprizol to help protect the stomach. She said it's more important for me to be walking.

That you could have an episode of gout in the first month with no prior history. Also, get protine pack samples. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

I didn't but mine didn't seem as hard. I had 20 days of mainly liquid but I was able to have one healthy choice meal each day. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Scheduled and approved for June 19th starting the pre-op diet today of 800 calories.

Hello, First of all, I'm new to these forums and I'm glad to have your support. I'm pre-op awaiting insurance approval to be scheduled. I have a lot of emotional baggage over my hobby. I've been brewing and drinking (new) beers for the past 4 years. I like to go to festivals and new breweries and try their beers. In the pursuit of this, I've acquired or have been gifted brewing equipment, beer signs, steins, and glassware. Some of which I've only received at Christmas this year and haven't had time to use. I'm full of guilt that my family has bought me equipment and limited edition steins that I won't be using for a long time if ever. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't like the feeling that people wasted money on gifts And I also want to keep my steins and use them for other liquids. I may return to the hobby and brew for the enjoyment of others, I have a friend who owns a microbrewery and does Keto so he rarely partakes in his wares outside of quality samples. Sorry for the rambling posts, I'm not good at explaining how I feel :S Jason

Either way, I'll be taking a break from the hobby for a year. It's the long term that I'm stressing over I have an easy one year break as I'll be moving to Japan in April 2018. I'm a type of person who overthinks things and stresses about what others think. Steins can hold tea and water! So I'll use that at least. One of the best suggestions my doctor gave me was to make beer soap. That way I have a non-edible (hopefully) hobby.

I'm new and covered by UHC we are submitting for approval on March 1st to see if they will take my previous medical supervised diet as part of the six months I need to wait. If so I'll probably have surgery in June, if not I need to do the 6-month nutritionist visits so it's going to be in October.

I'm doing it as part of my six-month supervised diet. It works well for me however whenever I go off, no matter much I lost I always rocket back to my starting weight. I'm hoping that post surgery things will be better I'll ask my nutritionist on the 1st to see what they think about it post op.
