Unexpected side effect.

food dreams. I dreamed last night I got super frustrated about something (I don't remember what) but I went and got a Subway sandwich and cooked 3 packages of Ramen noodles! I remembered after I dished it up that there was no way I was gonna eat that much so I put some

Of the broth and almost all of the noodles back. But I still say there and ate the entire sandwich!! Got to love crazy dreams.

I tend to have really vivid dreams when I'm doing something life changing. WIth the nicotine stuff, and quitting aids I've had some seriously amazing unconscious acid trips. Full surround sound, in color, even tactile sensation, some even lucid dreams.

One night I spent riding motorcycles through country lanes next to hedgerows in england and ridiculous rates of speed.

That was absolutely amazing.

And then you have a nightmare that's just as vivid.

On one hand it's really cool just what your brain can come up with. On the other it's really creepy to think about your subconscious talking to you through a door while it's in werewolf shape telling you how it's going to chew your intestines.

No food dreams for me. But when I quit smoking almost 3 years ago I started having smoking dreams and still occasionally have them. It's a guilt thing because when I wake up I always feel guilty and "so stupid" for giving in and smoking a cigarette and then it dawns on me that it was just a dream.

I've found I, not having the dreams, but I am compelled to click on all those Facebook videos of recipes and such, it's like food porn!

      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.
