So as I sit on my bed I'm wondering after the surgery and the weight loss happens what I should say to my feet. Cause in pretty sure their pissed at me, I mean should I say hey feet haven't seen you in a while. They'll be like wtf where've you been?! And then they'll bring up all the pain they've been through caring my ass around. And I really don't wanna have that conversation.

Ive had gout before when I went on the Atkins diet. NOT FUN. My big toe joints killed!

I guess we'll get it now won't we? Have you had it? How can be treated?

When I started dropping I had the worst attack of my life. But I took some uric acid cleanse and once it was over me feet have felt better than they have in years.

Thats good to know. Did you get it somewhere special, or a certain brand?

If it were gout it wouldn't be just at night. When I had my gout attack my feet swelled up so bad I couldn't walk for almost 2 weeks.

Gout is a build up of uric acid that crystallizes in the joints, most often the big toe. It is excruciating

Oh ok. Thanks.

I think mine is either related to my low potassium or just my feet being angry that I make them work now :)

I'm betting the later. My feet get sore at the end of the day now. I actually enjoy that pain, it reminds me that I'm walking more now than I have in a long time.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
