Why now

[linda305 173]

I haven't had surgery yet and have been getting horrible headaches and blurry vision. My pcp scheduled for me to get a mri of my head and I'm scared my insurance might deny my surgery. Or am i being paranoid?

Have you changed your diet

Is your blood pressure high or low? Have you started your pre-op diet? It's definitely a good call to get an MRI. It may delay your surgery if they find that anything is off. I'm praying for you that all is well. It's always better to be safe than sorry!!

Even though your pre op you should first suspect the usual suspects, dehydration and not enough Protein. If you are prepping for surgery you have probably started assisting your eating habits even if you don't realize it. Do make sure you are getting a minimum of 60oz Water a day and a minimum of 70 grams protein. And if course get the mri to be safe. Good luck.

It is very typical to eat your favorite foods before you give them up. It is a way of saying goodbye to your old life and starting your new life. If your gaining you might slow it down some. Definitely have a favorite meal before you start your liquid diet. You might be stressing over all of the changes that you are about to take on and stress can do a lot of things to your body. Your MRI is a good thing to do so you can rule anything out. Good luck on your journey!!

If you stopped having caffeine that could be the cause. I had a terrible headache for 3 days after I stopped all caffeine. Good luck!

Interesting to note that for some people, eating carbs and sugars will cause the headaches and blurred visions. I also know a lot of drs won't believe that. But last year my husband and I went on a juice fast, consuming only fresh juice from our breville juice fountain. Once we began eating carbs and sugars again following a week long fast, the headaches and blurred vision started.

Now, if I start my day with anything but a Protein Shake, I get like that too.

I just did the same thing.

You would be surprised how many physical ailments are caused by unrecognized anxiety and non diabetic sugar fluctuations. And if your eating crap (which most of us did, your likely getting high doses of msg, hfs, artificial coloring and flavors and a healthy dose of unknowns.
