Crazy pre-surgery dreams



Recommended Posts

At some point on one of these threads, I read something about receiving a DVD of surgery done in Mexico. And apparently that made BIG impression on me as I am having surgery in Mexico too.

In the dream, I am at home recovering from my VSG when my husband suggests watching the DVD of my procedure. His logic was that we paid for it, let's watch it. OK, I'm game. The DVD starts in the operating room and everything is ready for the surgery to begin. As it starts, I am HORRIFIED to see everyone in the operating room is NAKED!

All the surgical staff were nude. Of course they had on rubber gloves, surgical masks, and caps. Why wouldn't they, it's an operating room, right?! But other than that, they were all buck-ass naked. I was of course naked, but draped in surgical covering so not too embarassing. My husband was there in the operating room observing the surgery - also naked. And our 4 year old daughter was there too watching my VSG procedure and was, you guessed it - naked! The whole video was like a freaky new age birthing experience where everything was supposed to be relaxing, calm and natural. And, naked I guess. What was even more disturbing was that everyone in the operating room was really carefully watching the surgery and seemingly unconcerned or unaware they had no clothes on. WTF?

In the dream, I was furious at my husband for #1 being in the operating room NAKED and #2 allowing our 4 year old to watch a graphic surgery like that. (In the dream I was not concerned that my little daughter was in the operating room naked....that part seemed logical....but I was MAD that she watched the surgery!) WHATEVER!

I'm spending WAY WAY too much time thinking about this surgery! I'll be totally nuts by the time February gets here!!! Ha ha!!!

That's a crazy dream lol I went to a dream interpretation website and I think you should check it out.

For you being naked I found this explanation: To dream that you are naked denotes fear of being found out and exposed over your activities. You feel that you are being misjudged.

And this is about the others (surgeon, husband..): To see a naked person in your dream and you are disgusted by it represents some anxiety about discovering the naked truth about that person or situation. It may also foretell of an illicit love affair, a loss of prestige or some scandalous activity. On the other hand, if you are accepting of someone else's nudity, then it implies that you can see right through them and their intentions. Or perhaps, you are completely accepting them for who they are. If you do not care about someone else's nudity, then it suggests that you need to learn not to be afraid of rejection.

I love analyzing my dreams.. :)

      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.
