So my surgery is next Friday September 4th and my pre-op diet is going well. Anyway, I woke up this morning having had a horrific nightmare! I had a dream that I ate two butter tarts post surgery and was devastated and afraid of something going wrong! Wow I must really be worried subconsciously!! Has anyone had such a pre-surgery worry?

Lol - I didn't have anything like this pre-op, but I'm 5 days out now, and last night I had a similar dream. I was out at a football party with a large food buffet, and I was so caught up in the party and football game that I just reached out and grabbed a big ole beef burrito. Made it halfway through the it before I realized what I was doing and freaked out, which woke me up. Whew! :)

I think those sorts of anxiety dreams are normal for us facing a surgery and lifestyle changes as large as we're facing.

after my surgery for almost a week, I had food-binging dreams. In the back of my mind, I knew I was screwing up my surgery, but I couldn't stop eating. After about a week, the dreams ended.

      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?

      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.
