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.

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
