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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
