August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

[smithpy 117]

So I keep having dark dreams of death and dying on the table and all...anyone else going through this....I even dreamed last night that I was visited and told if I didnt stop this surgery I would die.....would like to shake this and hope its just part of this weird issue of going back and forth and some being scared etc

When my husband had surgery he couldn't sleep for 3 weeks prior. The doc said that's normal. We are all just nervous.

Sounds like you have some serious misgivings about the surgery. I haven't had any dreams like that. I do think towards the negative' date=' like getting on the table and being found full of cancer or horrible stomach ulcers and they can't perform the surgery. Did you see a psychiatrist for clearance prior to surgery? Hope you can find peace with your decision![/quote']

I thought about the cancer thing too. Like oh what if the cut me open and see a bunch of cancer and then I remembered that it's laperscopic and probably won't happen like that.

I made a great Soup the other day' date=' took zucchini and yellow squash and sliced and used a frying pan with just the olive oil spray, and grilled them some like that, then added in fresh basil, and salt and pepper, then added in some chicken broth and used a little flour to make a thick rue like then skim milk, then added to the blended and pureed it all. was pretty good that way actually......mmm thoughts of zucchini banana bread with walnuts and chocolate chips....whoops that was the old me that could have that <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

My mom makes a traditional zucchini bread for the kids and she adds extra zucchini and reduces the sugar. You could also use them in a veggie or lentil soup or cut them and freeze them for later.

I did not know that til I read your post. I was like 'WHAT" I had to go look. Of course I couldn't find it, so I went to the help section where I watched a tutorial on how to use it. Thanks for the heads up. This is going to come in very handy now. Hopefully less self typed entries.

Anyone tried chia seeds yet? I've been adding them to my Protein smoothies. They add a lot of Fiber and bulk, really helping with satiety.
