Vision changes - I had gastric bypass on Thursday. I am doing OK with the pain and no hunger at all. I am near sighted and need glasses to see far away things. I can also read any thing close up with my glasses on. But ever since surgery, I have noticed that when reading or using my phone close up, it is blurry. I remove my glasses and it's clear, but distant items are blurry of course.

Has anyone experienced vision changes after surgery?

That is quite possible especially if you had sugar issues. I would wait at least 90 days as long as nothing major before going to an eye doctor for new glasses. If it seems to be a bigger issue definitely get that checked out. I know my moms glasses needs changed greatly after surgery

August 27th for me! And yes I’ve already started the liquid diet- I started it on the 10th as I have hepatic steatosis (fatty liver disease). Day 3 of the preop diet was the worst for me but doing ok now.

My surgery is 8/19. I’m currently on day 7 of my 14 day liquid diet. It has had its moments and yesterday I was super hungry and these shakes just weren’t cutting it so I listened to music and that helped.
I have cheated so many times on this diet and my surgery is the 21st I hope it goes well. I'm going to be strict from now on

Mine too! Just went yesterday to the start clinic for presurgery blood and urine testing. Still doesn't feel like this is really happening. I was originally suppose to have the surgery back in March but was put on hold due to covid. How are you feeling about the surgery? Best wishes to you hope all goes well.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
