So I had a dream last night that my surgeon called to tell me my surgery was approved (cuz I guess he's Es McMahon in my dreams and gives people good news himself), but that insurance denies my husband's surgery.

And I was like "yeah, but I was approved? When's surgery?". Lol I didn't even care that my husband was denied!

If I wasn't in school for counseling, I would probably interpret that dream in a way that ended with me being a selfish wife. Lol

It sounds like both you and your husband are planning to have surgery at the same time.

Sounds like a bad dream. I hate strange dreams. So tonight dream that your husband was approved and you were denied. How does you husband act!

Strange dreams are just another permanent part of my life. These happened after I had a serious accident while riding my bicycle and I was definitely concussed. I wonder though if weight loss will have any effect on mental state...

I haven't noticed any change in my dream state as a result of surgery.

But on the other hand: As you lose weight, the chemicals and hormones that were stored in your fat cells are being released into your body. These will pass through your kidneys and are expelled in your urine or through your sweat glans. But they can generate a flush of hormones during the weight loss phase. They should simmer down once you transition into maintenance. It is important to meet your daily Fluid requirements, because it take fluids to flush these hormones from your system.

I had a dream my dead mother in law was in surgery when I was being anesthetized..

I asked her..."Are you doing my surgery?"

And she goes..."No, I am not. I'm dead, and I am a veterinarian."

Which was certainly true.

Was nice to see her, even if it was a whacko dream. LOL:)

      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.
