Weird dreams since surgery scheduled



Recommended Posts

Lately I 've been having surgery related dreams where I wake up banded and I can immediately tell the difference (these dreams are great). Last night I had the most bizarre dream... I was out with my husband and someone said ," Hi, Valerie." Well, my name is Stephanie. It turned out that I had another personality named Valerie that was sneeking out at night and partying till all hours. That was the reason I'm tired all the time, have headaches and can't lose any weight. Because Valerie was undoing all my exercise and eating right by partying all night!

I have to tell you this dream would make alot of sense if it were true!

So, my surgery is scheduled for June 16th and I'm saying goodbye to Valerie forever!

That made me laugh, thanks. I didn't have a dream that I had an alternate personality, but it is funny how obsessed we become with the band once we make the decision to have it. I did have dreams just about every night of being banded, having PB's, everything and wake up so disappointed when I realized I didn't have it yet. Now I do, and I experienced my first official "golf ball" the other day and the first thing I did when it hit was tell my husband to get me to the emergency room and get that thing out of me! Of course, I didn't, but it hurt so bad that at that moment, that was what I believed I wanted. Thank goodness my hubby didn't listen to me.

      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.
