I had a nightmare!



Recommended Posts

So I was approved for surgery and scheduled 10/2 and I had the most horrible nightmare. I deamt that they called me to cancel my surgery. In my dream I cried so hard and was so devistated. Im still so nervous since it is 12 days away. I am maintaining under my weight but it still seems so hard. 12 days seems so quick yet so far away. On top of all of that I have to host my son's 4th birthday party 5 days before surgery. I dont really care for cake but we will be BBQing. Gotta stay on the strait and narrow.

Anyone have these type of bad dreams before surgery?

Yes, I had one of those, too. Funny thing is, about the time it hit 2 weeks pre-op for me, the time just flew by! So just sit back and chill; put you legs up. Enjoy your son's birthday. The surgery will be here in the blink of an eye!

Good luck

Beni,

How is it going? Only 5 more days! Are you getting as excited as I am?

I'll be glad once I have all of my errands run, house cleaned, and get caught up at work. I guess keeping busy is the best thing to do.

Where are you located?

Hi, I no longer have the lap band but I still have the comorbid conditions I had before. Dr. is saying I need RNY and have found no reason why I can't go through with it in the next three months. I'm so afraid but I know that I need to do this for health reasons. Last night I dreamt that I was at a weight loss class and the Dr. came up to me and said "OK, I'll see you in surgery in 2 weeks". I had prayed earlier to make the right decision during this process, and I feel that it came to me in that dream. I will be calling my Dr.'s office to find out about scheduling very soon.

Hey NC Girl, sorry for the slow response. I'm doing okay. That was the only nightmare I had, I've had no others since then. I'm getting excited! I started a self induced liquid diet today, wasn't too bad, did get really hungry at 7 pm though. I have my pre op physical tomorrow with the last blood work, then it's on to surgery. Thursday can't get here soon enough for me now!

      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.
