I am having the worst gout attack of ny life. I have had it before and it was always in my big toe. This time it is my entire foot from the ankle down. I am in so much pain and can't take anything. I haven't slept in two days. Im trying to drink a lot of Water but even that isn't working as I'm hardly peeing at all. On top of all of that I am so constipated I can hardly stand the pain anymore. I have no appetite and haven't eaten since the foot flared on Saturday.

I just had to rant. :( it's better than the crying I can't stop.

I feel you pain. Gout is the worst pain I have ever had in my life. And I had my foot ripped apart when I was 21 by a shark. Gout pain is worse. Call you doc. Maybe they will order some pain meds. Mine usually does.

I feel so bad for you, I never had gout (thankfully), but watched my Grandmother suffer through it. I have chronic RA to the point that I'm disabled & take Morphine & Methadone for it & it hardly touches the pain , the pain killers cause Constipation big time sometimes I only go 2x a month , Now I use Miramax I mix it in all my drinks & it'd really works no cramping or anything like you can get with some laxatives.. I would DEFINITELY call your MD, it's not good not urinating especially when your drinking extra liquids, & he probably will give you something to be more comfortable. You can end up being dehydrated which can be very dangerous, please don't wait call today, Your friend in weight loss, Mary

It usually starts in the middle of the night. Toe (or whatever joint affected) feels broken. It gets red and nothing helps the pain. :(

Drink lots of Water. I wouldn't wish it on my enemies.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
