Have you tried CBD oil? It helped me a lot with the pain I had in my feet.

Hi,

has anyone else suffered from gout after surgery? Any tips or advice to control it?

My husband suffers from horrible gout in his toes and ankles. It literally cripples him when he is having an attack. He can fortunately take NSAIDs which sort of helps but I know Bariatric patients can’t take them. His Dr told him it’s caused by foods rich in purins. I know specifically like red meats, seafoods, mushrooms, cauliflower and definitely alcohol. I don’t know how far out you are from surgery but maybe it’s from something you are consuming more of or maybe just from levels being out of whack and causing more Uric acid. He also ices it (if you can stand the weight of the ice on it) and elevates it. Fortunately the attacks only last about 48 hrs.

I just recently had gout. I'm 11 weeks post-op. I've cut shrimp totally out and watching my red meat. It seems to be getting better.

I took half a dose of steroid, but my bs was too high, so I stopped.

I Hope he feels better quickly!

When I had gout pre op I was prescribed Allopurinol. It has to be taken daily but, it stopped my attacks. Post surgery, I'm gout free. Some people I know also swear by Cherry juice.

Previously I swore by milk/unsweetened dairy, but I dont tolerate it post op now. Cherry juice helped as a preventive for me but allopurinol was the big gun. Post op, I've been managing it through diet alone but that isnt for everyone. I'd bring it up to the doctor.

      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.
