Yes , Monkfruit, stevia or liquid agave. I do use honey when I feel sick for its soothing coating my throat tendencies. Of course,it is sweet sugary although it,is a,more natural one warm herbal is also nice.

I had the same thing happen to me right after I came home from the hospital. I started eating cream of mushroom Soup five days post op and the dreams quit. For me, getting to eat something I really like (the soup) seemed to stop the dreams.

It may mean that your sub consciousness realizes what a toxic relationship you had with food. I can admit my own because I know and realize it was an abuser that controlled me instead of me controlling it. And like many others of that ilk it told me " I'm the only friend you have" well I finally realized I no longer needed such a friend and the tie must be severed. On surgery day Unhealthy food and I will be divorced. You are stronger than I for you have already done it. I salute you LakeishaNicole.[emoji7]

After months of googling information, I finally decided to join this forum. I am soooooooooo excited but very nervous bout getting the gastric bypass. I have Anthem BSBC and it requires 6 months of consecutive weigh-in attempts with my PCP. I am nervous because last month I actually gained 5lbs. Although they said I did not have to lose any weight throughout those visits, I'm afraid that will give them a reason to deny me. Can someone with Anthem insurance let me know how long it took to receive an approval? Was the process smooth for you? My patient advocate said she would send the paper work in as soon as I get the last weight attempt sheet faxed over. I really want to get approved so I can go ahead and have the surgery in January.

I’m excited for you this is our first step to a healthier future!!!

Mine isn't too bad. I do a shake for Breakfast, a shake for lunch, a smart dinner, and one smart snack a day. I pretty much do that now for the most part.

I totally forgot to let y'all know! I got a call from my surgeons office manager on Thursday saying my insurance had approved my procedure!!! And not only that but they had a cancellation and would I like to switch my date to an earlier one..uh yes, yes I would! So my surgery has been moved from April 24th to March 27th!! Pre-Op diet starts in 2 days on Monday!!!

I finally got a date!!!! March 16th
