It happened to me also, and I was not taking anything for nausea. It was really upsetting! But, it did pass in a matter of weeks. I personally think it has something to do with anesthesia.

I struggled with the same thing the first few days. Thought I was going crazy...then I realized it was the pain medicine! Once I stopped it everything went back to normal. I remember trying to text a phone # to someone after 3 tries I gave up everything was running together. Keep your head up - it'll get better I'm sure!

See thats what i told my husband to look at side effect of the pain meds but he said the one he gave me there was none on it about vision problems. I am ready for this to pass i so miss this site... It has been such a life saver for me thanks again! :)

That's exactly the reason I love this site! I have learned so much more here than anything I've been told or asked the bariatric nurse. I just hope when it's my turn, I don't forget all that I've read! Good luck to you! I have enough vision problems as it is since I have a blocked tear duct & my eyes tear all the time. Looks like I'm constantly crying...so everything is blurry all the time. My issue will involve surgery & I'm just not ready for that right now. Something about installing stints where the blocked canal is. EEK! :o I get nervous enough just applying eyeliner! :wacko:

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
