First dream/fantasy of life post op

[Roo101769 742]

Ok. This may sound totally insane but here goes...Since I began this journey I have never been able to really picture myself after I lose weight. I have been obese (250+) for over 13 years now. Before that I was on the heavy side of overweight for probably four or five years. Basically all of my adult life has been spent large. Last night I had a very short dream, can't really remember most of it. But what I do remember was I was thin. I actually woke up excited.. It is starting to dawn on me this is really happening. This won't be like every other failed weight loss attempt. I will be able to be a normal weight person when I do this! I think my mind is catching up...I know it may sound weird, but maybe others on here will understand what I mean??

I'm 8 weeks post op and I don't think that reality has quite caught up with me yet but I do fantasize about it for sure.

Beats fantasizing about eating a piece of cake

Nothing would surprise me, my brain has been doing some very weird things to me too and I haven't had my surgery yet. I lost my appetite, then have these split second "senior moments" when in my closet I think that certain small size jeans will fit me - then i remember I'm not sleeved yet - this is all for real I swear and it's baffling me, so in short, yes, your brain does some interesting things. But you are on your way, lots for you to look forward to now !!
