Yes I've had a great amount of it after surgery. It has settled down but I do wonder if my vision has changed. Unfortunately it's a while off until my yearly exam.

Not only was my vision blurry....but my eyesight has become extremely worse! I got a new pair of prescription eyeglasses in January '12....by February, they were useless (I was sleeved in Dec '11). I have to squint to see thru my glasses and even then it's still hard to read/see things. I talked to my NUT about this but she just acted like it was another one of those "stages" that us sleevers go through. Im just wondering if my sight will ever improve, stay the same or get worse? With my vision insurance plan, I can only get a pair of glasses every 2 years...ugh!

I got new glasses just before surgery, then had to go back to wearing my old ones by October, 2011. I just decided a few weeks ago to put the new ones back on and now they work very well. I don'[t know if it's sleeve related, but that was my experience.

Also sleeved in May and experiencing reduced vision. I thought it was ageing and had not thought it could be sleeve related. Optometrist time I guess!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
