I have checked this out since saturday just to have a proper understanding of this before i posted this.

On Saturday i went to get my eyes examined and purchase new glasses since i was noticing that smaller print was getting difficult to read. this has been occuring for the past 4 months.

My Dr. tells me that the reason im having this issue is because my eye sight has drastically improved? my current perscription is apperently too strong and that is why i have been getting headaches more frequently and at the end of the work day.

He further explained this is not such an uncommon occurance in people who drastically change to a healthy Vitamin rich lifestyle. another benefit of this surgery ....healthy, slimmer and i can see better....score!!!!

The human body is an amazing thing!

That's pretty incredible! I've never heard such a thing. Good reason for a new set of frames.

My doc said I can take anything that doesn't have any NSAID in it. NyQuil or something should be fine.

I can eat just about anything if I chew enough. Believe it or not, steak works well for me if its not well done, but chicken the pouch does not enjoy at all.

I can eat everything except for nuts and seeds, skins (such as on fruits and veggies), dried fruit, and corn. However I have tried all of these in VERY small amounts except corn. I think that corn is one of the worst things you can eat. It's up there with fried food in my opinion.

I should also note that most of my days have Protein Shakes and yogurt in them. I drink a Protein Shake for breakfast and a Greek yogurt for lunch.< /div>

I agree I usually have a Protein shake for breakfast. Protein Bars are common as well. I am not perfect at getting my protein in, but I figure its a process.

      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.
