What dreams I had last night. I'm still on clear liquids, but I hope to start pureed food tomorrow. Anyway, last night I had a couple crazy dreams. The first one was about a seafood chowder or soup that I was watching somebody make. They were using all kinds of odd creatures from under the ocean. Even though the soup looked strange, all I was thinking was that I really wanted to eat some of it. Later, I had a dream that I worked in Krispy Kreme donut shop. I was putting the icing on the donuts. I woke up with a smile on my face. Food is now creeping into my dreams. Not sure about that seafood soup, but I really enjoyed the Krispy Kreme dream! :thumbup:

Just reading about your Krispy Kreme dream.....makes my mouth water....ugh...heehee!!!

Hi there! I read in your other blog entry that you are only having a couple hundred calories a day - do you feel like your starving?? Or do you not feel hungry at all? I go in for surgery May 7th - I feel like I have so many random questions - the unknown is scary, but it helps to read about other people's experiences. Thanks for sharing! :thumbup:

Well, I have to the admit, the first 2 days of my 5-day preop liquid diet were hard. I kept really busy at work and home and just got through it somehow. After that, it wasn't so bad. I was really afraid to cheat because I thought it would make the surgery difficult for the surgeon. After surgery, I really had no appetite for probably 5 days or so. When it came back, I still was afraid to eat because I didn't want to cause damage to the new band. This week has been hard, and I have cheated a bit, had some plain fat-free yogurt a couple of times (no more than 2-3 oz). Today is my last day of clear liquids after 23 days (not that I'm counting). If I can do this, believe me, anyone can do it if they are motivated. I'm almost in onederland since my officical start in Nov 2009 (had to lose weight before insurance would approve me). Good luck and feel free to ask me anything! I was where you are now not too long ago.
