Has anyone had problems with GOUT?  I had RNY surgery on November 22nd and had a gout attack on November 24th (2 days after surgery) and now I'm having another one.  I think its the protein drinks I've been drinking.  I have meds to take but, because of the surgery I can't take them like I need to because of the surgery.

Hello Maria,

My husband had gout before having his RNY surgery.  We had to crush his gout medicine daily until he could swallow pills.  It was nasty but it had to be done. 
His gout has gotten a lot better after having surgery thank goodness.

Try to stay away from offending foods that will make your gout flare up.   I am sorry you are in pain.  I hope you feel better soon.

Take care,

Cira
