I am new to this forum. I am currently 32 days post-op and have lost approx 30 lbs. The only problem I seem to have is acne!! Anyone else have this issue? Does it get better lol?

Your body is going through lots of change and all of us are different. I experienced gout. I recommend drinking lots of Water and it will pass. Just wait until your about 10 weeks out. For me thats when the fun really starts and you begin to feel like superman.

I'm about three months out and I couldn't be happier. I'm down 56 pounds (62% of the way to my goal weight of 190). I haven't been this weight since my sophmore year of highschool. I feel better than I have in 20 years. I no longer take blood pressure medication and I have reduced or eliminated all of the meds I used to take for diabetes. And it hasn't been all that difficult to keep the weight coming off.

Life is great.

I had gout for the first time last year and it hasn't been and issue. Now I'm almost done with 2 weeks pre op high protein liquid n the gout came back. Will it get better if I'm going to spend my future life on high protein? What do you do beside drink a lot water. I'm am already doing that and still got it? Pls help
