Worried about my gout

Was sleeved Monday 2 weeks ago. I have had Gout for about 10 years but had it perfectly under control with Allopurinol and if I had a flare up with Colchicine. Have not had a major attack in several years.

Prior Surgery I asked my doc about my gout and he even said that this could cure it.

Now.... last week I had my first attack. Not bad. At a place on my foot that did not hurt under pressure. Got better the next day but is still there when I move my toe in a certain angle. Today I got another one on my other foot. Again I am lucky and I can walk but this one is more noticable.

I am still taking Allopurinol. Crushed. I got Colchicine from my PCP but he does not know much about such surgeries and I am not sure I can take that or even crush it. That stuff is poison and I have great respect of the stuff.

Anybody have any experience? Can't have juice yet (sugar), or drink more water (I do my best).

I am really afraid of a huge major attack that will prevent me from walking. Had that years ago and do NOT want to experience this again.
