When you dream...Do you dream big or small?



Recommended Posts

When you dream at night and you are in it do you see yourself as you are now, in the past or at the end of your weight loss?

I have never dreamed in a dream at night that I was heavy. i have always seen myself in my dreams as a 19 year old girl in every situation I encounter in my dreams. I was just wondering if anyone else sees yourself like that while you are sleeping...Interesting thought I think!

When I was larger, in my dreams I was always thin. Now when I dream I'm larger.

I have had one dream being "skinny" since I started this whole process. I don't remember the content of the dream, but I remember waking up feeling excited. Since then though, I dream myself heavy. In fact, I often stop and look at myself in the mirror and say "damn". I still do not have my head around my current size. While I hope to go even lower, to reach my goal weight, my brain is still stuck on the "before" me. So....maybe if I start dreaming it I might finally believe it.

When I am in my dream ( which is not often) I am thin. In real life, I have a hard time seeing myself smaller. I look in the mirror and I'm still large but I think I never realized just how large I actually was. Before and after pictures are a huge help to get things in perspective.

I have to try on clothes before I buy because I just can't tell by looking at something if it will fit. Everything looks too small. Also, my body does not seem to be losing evenly so it's kind of strange how things fit.

      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.
