Dreams--is it just me?



Recommended Posts

For the past three nights, I've been dreaming about going into surgery for the lapband. They weren't nightmares but more anxiety dreams. I haven't even gotten the surgery approved by my insurance carrier yet...just turned in all my paperwork less than a week ago.

Does anyone else have these dreams? I think I'm already getting obsessed with the surgery! I know that I'm incredibly anxious to get things started. I want it SO bad!

O yes. Right after I went to the seminar, and started doing more research, I must have had lapband surgery 3 times a night! Now I only have it once a week. Guess that's improvement. Maybe our minds are just trying to make sense of it all.

I honestly don't remember having them over my band. Rightnow I am waiting to hear from insurance on a TT---and I dreamed they told me I had to make arrangements for the disposal of the skin and fat they remove!!! They brought it to me in a zip lock marked Hazardous Waste!!!!

If I could just get the approval----I'll dispose of it even!!!!

That's hilarious and disgusting at the same time! That said, I, too, would be willing to dispose of my fat & skin in zip lock bags if I get approved!!!

YES!

I must be more nervous about it than I think because something always goes wrong (weird, weird stuff) in my dreams.....but yes, probably two or three a week!

I dream about lap band almost every night. Either preparing for the surgery, going to the surgery or of loosing the weight after the surgery. My mind has never taken me into the actual surgery, thank goodness. That would freak me out. Last night I dreamed that I went into the surgery and when I woke up they had not put the band on me.

      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.
