Got a call and surgery has been moved up to Aug 1....yikes!! But as I said earlier no going back now I'm decaffinated:-)

Whoo hooo!! I thing that makes 7 ours going on the first. Maybe we should start a thread for those of us that are going the first week of Aug so we can all check in and easily follow along? Thoughts??

So I keep having dark dreams of death and dying on the table and all...anyone else going through this....I even dreamed last night that I was visited and told if I didnt stop this surgery I would die.....would like to shake this and hope its just part of this weird issue of going back and forth and some being scared etc

Sounds like you have some serious misgivings about the surgery. I haven't had any dreams like that. I do think towards the negative, like getting on the table and being found full of cancer or horrible stomach ulcers and they can't perform the surgery. Did you see a psychiatrist for clearance prior to surgery? Hope you can find peace with your decision!

Trying to use up 50 pounds of zucchini from my garden in this pre op diet, where I am allowed some veggies every day. Any suggestions? I have been boiling them in beef broth with mrs.dash spicy blend. Not too bad, but 49 pounds of zucchini left.

I have not done this at all so it may be just a subconscious fear. Dr. A has never lost a patient, so tell your mind to dwell on that fact.

I made a great Soup the other day, took zucchini and yellow squash and sliced and used a frying pan with just the olive oil spray, and grilled them some like that, then added in fresh basil, and salt and pepper, then added in some chicken broth and used a little flour to make a thick rue like then skim milk, then added to the blended and pureed it all. was pretty good that way actually......mmm thoughts of zucchini banana bread with walnuts and chocolate chips....whoops that was the old me that could have that

When I first made the decision, and paid the deposit, etc., I had some weird dreams. Just remember that we don't control our dreams, and our minds use sleep as a time to make adjustments. I think it is a normal part of adjusting to a major life decision. I know when I was pregnant with my children, especially my first, I would have bizarre and disturbing dreams. Sometimes, it helps to talk it out with someone. I found that verbalizing it took the mystery and "scariness" away, especially when verbalizing it and hearing how "silly" it sounded in the light of daytime. (That is not to say that your dream is silly, I am referring to my own dreams). Hope this helps.

Blessings!
