I was wondering if this was a problem for others before you had surgery. I have had nightmares since I was told I was approved for surgery. Granted my surgery is in November, I have had dreams about failing my diet, being put under,waking up during surgery did everyone else do this? I wish my day was next week or tomorrow because I hate this feeling. I feel like im trying to talk myself out of doing the surgery. Yikes!!!! is this my nerves that is making my mind play tricks on me?

It probably is your mind going 100 miles an hour anticipating every possible problem.

I don't usually have nightmares but am the Dream Queen.

Not sure how you get those thoughts out of your head but hope you get some good nights of sleep soon!!

My surgery is 10/14 and sometimes I dream if awful things like mourning food and being in a lot of pain and not being able to work. But I also dream of amazing things like slipping into a pair of perfect curve hugging jeans or chasing my kids around. I dream of my sleeve almost nightly.

I'm glad its not only me. I thought I obsessed over this surgery before but it seems to have worsened since I have approval and a date. This date can't get here fast enough

I don't recall any bad dreams pre-surgery. But I sure had them post-op, for about a week. I was dreaming I was in a post-apocalyptic world and was being quizzed to see if I had enough skills to be a valuable member of the team. :wacko:

      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.
