My latest nightmare...



Recommended Posts

and this is what the band does to me. I had a dream that something really stressful happened. So I freaked and ate a whole bunch of Oreos. :) I woke up thinking, "OH!! Thank goodness it was just a dream!" I had to LMAO, but that is too funny (scary!!). I have NEVER had a dream like that while being on a regular diet. haha I definitely don't want to go back to doing that kind of stuff. I haven't even had a REAL urge for sugar. So that's why the dream was so discouraging that I allowed myself to backslide like that.

Lol, I had one like that once. Back in my youth when I used to get through litres of diet coke a week, I dreamed that diet coke had calories. It was a really scary dream.

I'll eat ten cream cakes, but I dont drink calories. That's a fat person's warped logic. Order big mac, large fries AND a sundae but draw the line at regular coke!

LOL...that sounds like something my mom would say. When she was a little heavier (and admittedly...depressed), she could pound a bag of peanut M&Ms, but she stuck with her diet coke! She has lost all of that weight, and I remember her making a comment about not wanting to drink Cold Duck (it's like imitation champagne...no alcohol) because it's a waste of calories. She says, "If I'm going to put those calories in my body, why not just have a cookie?" LOL

I dreamed last night that I forgot to shave my legs and grossed out the surgeon and he wouldn't do my surgery,.... the games our minds play...

oh the shaved legs is precious! I had a dream before surgery that my pet Python was acting crazy, and that he twisted around and pushed his head through his own stomach. I was horrified until I realized after he came out of the other side of himself, he was fine, just thinner! Not hard to analyze that one!

I haven't had any food dreams with the band, but when I was doing Atkins 'hardcore' and doing wonderfully.. I had nightmares all the time that I ate pizza, or drank a Mt. Dew, etc. I'd wake up panicked that I ruined my ketosis and I even woke up crying at one point.

Of course, when I did finally screw up on Atkins with a box of Dunkin Donuts, I was enjoying my food high and didn't care heh.

I used to have the soda dream, that I downed a can and then ended up writing on the floor in pain!! I don't have that one anymore but I do still have much stranger dreams than I ever used to before I was banded, I guess it could have something to do with the band somehow.

      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.
