HI, I'm on day 5 from post-op, but each am, I wake up like I am in a room full of smoke. Everything is fuzzy and it takes about 1-1/2 hrs to clear up? I'm getting plenty of liquids in and Protein Shakes. I'm also spilling large amounts of ketones in my urine, but doc seems to think that is normal (ketones break down the fat!) but can be dangerous with folks who are type 1 diabetics like me. Need to look out for vomiting and more nausea. Just wondering about the fuzzy vision in the am... Anyone else have that? Six holes in my belly, but all are good but one... Still sore in one spot so that must be the one where they pulled my stomach out of!!

Fuzzy vision seems typical after surgery. Almost everyone I've talked to with surgery during my week had it for about the first week. Mine was really bad. Gradually it just disappeared.

Never experienced it and never heard of it. Does your doc say that's normal too or just the ketones I your urine?

Good to hear that others have seen this. Probably leftovers due to anesthesia. surgeon hasn't answered me yet on this one. I called today and he hasn't called back. Diabetes doc was the one who said ketones was normal. thanks!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
