The dry skin leads me to think it may be dehydration... But check with your surgeon to make sure it's not a medication.. If You haven't been getting enough fluids try to up your intake by like 8-16oz a day. I know it's hard, I still have major probs getting in all my water! Good luck to you and stay healthy!!

Call your doctor immediately. Blurred vision can be very serious.

I am not dehydrated but now almost live in the lotion bottle. My skin just needs more moisture :)

Vision wise, I suggest searching the forum for blurry vision, you'll see that others have posted about this very issue.

I agree with isajck...search this site for blurry vision. I am one who suffers from it and have made several posts about my vision. When I asked my NUT about it, she never really gave me an explanation, just that it does happen to some people. My eyesight is def worse than before surgery....ugh!

I don't have blurry vision but my vision has definitely decreased since surgery. I can barely read street signs now. It's actually terrible and I don't like it.

You should definitely notify your doctor of this. While it could be something simple, it could also be something serious. At least that way you know and maybe they can get it fixed - I can imagine that it's frustrating. I did just a quick search online and found a ton of reasons - varying from Iron deficiency to increased estrogen.

My pre op nurse told me that my vision would be blurry and not to fret. The anti nausea meds that I take has this side effect. I am blurry up close but ok far away. I know my vision is good though because I saw my eye doc (he performed my LASIK) not too long before my surgery.

      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.
