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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
