Since the surgery, I cannot see well. My eyes are so fatigued. I'm seeing blurry and double, cannot focus on anything. Please tell me it's the exhaustion only?

I felt this way too, but only while I was under the influence of my Ultram. I took one pill mid day yesterday (day 3 post op) and haven't taken one today because of how it weirds out my eyes. Do you notice if this is in conjunction with while you have meds in your system or is it seemingly unrelated? Keep me posted. :)

It is my first day home post-op, and no painkillers at all. I noticed it as soon as I came to in recovery. It can also be residual narcotics in my bloodstream. At least I want to believe that.

Do you have a scopolamine patch (for nausea) behind your ear? Extended use causes double vision. ( Like greater than 3 days). Maybe they forgot to remove it? The patch is commonly given right before they anesthetize you.

There was a tiny little circle sticker behind my ear. i found it yesterday and removed it. I had no idea about it. I never felt any nausea. Interesting.

      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.

      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.
