Today is my 1 month follow up with the NP and I had multiple dreams of me cheating last night. The first one I was boozing hard, the 2nd one I ate some kind of huge piece of cake that was amazing, and the third one I ate a cheeseburger. I actually woke up thinking I really did it. Then when I realized it was a dream, I laughed. Can't take the obsessive thoughts away I guess! :)

I hear ya. I'm almost 2 weeks out from having had the surgery and the first few nights I was having food dreams. What's funny is that I caught myself thinking "Wait, I can't possibly do that anymore" in the dream, which snapped me out of it.

Yep, last night I dreamed that I was back to my old ways of just cheating a little on my diet. I went to Subway and got a footlong and then polished it off with chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Blizzard from Dairy Queen. I was telling myself that cheating one meal wouldn't kill me and then I remembered- I'm supposed to be on Clear Liquids only! I started freaking out that I was going to have a leak and then I woke up... with horrible reflux, too. My mind is trying to sabotage me, lol

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
