Are any of you having off the wall crazy dreams after you had your surgery? I have at least 3 dreams a night and I'm not getting any good rest.

I had a dream that my mom was feeding me Peanut Butter, I had a dream about a man falling in love with a robot, a dream about me eating an apple, a dream about me watching this really good movie ...and the list goes on!

Yes, me too. I think it's the pain meds. I had a dream that the post lady ran right into my car with hers and took off. My dreams are all over the map. Your not alone. I'm almost a week post op.

I'm three weeks post-op and it wasn't until just recently that the crazy dreams have gotten better... And I've been off the pain meds for two weeks now.

I'd say the most terrifying, besides being bizarre, of all the dreams was one a handful of nights ago where I had a dream my belly was literally tearing open at all of my incision sites. Slightly traumatic, haha. But I'm sleeping MUCH better and more soundly now!

I dont have crazy drrams, but I do sleep 200% better and I know there is a rhyme or reason for dreams and your sleep level.

I had really strange, vivid dreams too. I think it's a combination of the pain meds and all the excitement and anxiety that comes with a life and body-altering surgery like this. it gets better. take it easy and take good care of yourself. :)

      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.
