Ever since my LB surgery June '12 I have been unable to wear my contacts for some reason. I've had to buy a nice pair of glasses to wear all of the time. It's like my eyes dry out easily and quickly if I put my contacts in. Has anyone else experienced this with surgery?

I wear contacts and haven't had any issues with them. I use the extended wear ones. Sometimes VERY extended. :)

I'm like Catfish. No change in my contact usage at all, I'm also extended wear. Only difference I've noticed is slightly drier skin which I attribute to the decrease in dietary fat. Had to buy a richer moisturizer!

I had surgery Dec '12 and I have noticed that my eyes have been drier. I just accounted it to the weather. I wear daily disposable and I used to be able to keep them in all day, now it seems by 6 pm, they're pulling my eyeballs out. I've been wearing my glasses a lot lately.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
