Weird dreams



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else experiencing weird dreams. I'm not on any pain meds so I don't think that's it, but I've been having the weirdest dreams lately. Can you think of some other reason I'd be having these?

I would imagine that being banded fairly recently you are dealing with a lot of issues (STRESS). I had my band back at the end of April and I know I was on a wild ride for the week before surgery and the first few weeks after. I too had weird dreams. I think that perhaps it goes with the territory. You might start a dream journal if you remember your dreams just so that you can examine them for similarities, it might help you to see where your subconcious is wandering off to when you aren't looking.

I had several of the "oh my gosh I am at work and I suddenly notice I am wearing JUST my bra and panties (or less)" I have not had a dream like that since I was a teeny bopper for crying out loud!!! But it was pretty clear to me when I was thinking it over that my dreams are working out some of my body conciousness issues.

I was really confounded by the one where I was at my boss' parent's house and I had bike problems and my boss's mom sold my bike and then gave me a small yappy dog to help get me home (like I was supposed to ride it or something, LOL). Now that dream just lacked any logic of any kind - esp considering I don't know my boss's family and they live on another continent. Weird dreams happen. What you do with them is up to you. ;-)

Funny about dreams. A little over 3 months ago I quit smoking. For weeks after I was having dreams of smoking a cigarette while driving, or just smoking in general.

Well, I am 6 days post-op and it is getting easier. As far as dreams, I just had one and I was having butter Cuban bread with coffee and milk in that dream. Weird, cause I was thinking how much I would like some but I just can't.

      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.
