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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
