Have any of you had dreams, nightmares rather, that you were pigging out with food you can't eat during preop? I've had a few, I wake up panicked!

The dreams are normal. I did a Water fast once for 27 days and had those same dreams. I would have to ask my husband if what I dreamt happened several times. It was crazy.

I didn't have any dreams but my husband has this Cincinnati Skyline Chili for lunch today and it smelled so good. I drank my shake and enjoyed the smell. I sticking to this liquid diet too, no matter how bad it tastes. It's better in a wine glass with ice?

Last night I dreamt I had chocolate with hazelnuts at church in the town we are moving to. I'm not worried about this because the church I have chosen is an hour drive from the town we are moving to, so I know it is impossible. Furthermore, I made a Formula 1 race happen in town, with non-race car drivers driving alongside the race cars. I am chocking it up to nerves.

I woke up at 6:30 and have been finishing my preparations. I am making Jello, frozen pops, and getting the house ready and clean top to bottom. I have finished my packing list (my surgeon requires a three-night hospital stay) and am gathering everything I will need post-surgery.

Here's my packing list:

- Baby Wipes

- Face Cloths

- Lip Balm

- Shampoo

- Soap

- Lotion

- BB Cream

- Wedding Ring

- Flip Flops

- Dress

- binder

- Bra

- Towel

- Toothbrush & Toothpaste

- Electronics And Chargers

- Afghan Or Shawl

- Ear Plugs

- Journal And Pen

- Medical Records

I just got the final call from my surgeons office that everything has been approved. They will call me later with check-in time for tomorrow. I think it has finally set in and I am starting to cry. I am happy and so nervous. I know this is the best thing for me -but now doubt is rushing in.

I have ROCKED my 3 day liquid diet though! So that gives me real hope and strength. I can't wait to talk to you all after we are on the losers bench!

      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.
