crazy pre-banding dreams!

did anyone else (or is anyone else) having crazy weird pre-op dreams?!

last night i dreamt i was in the hospital (which looked an awful lot like a 7-11/cheap motel combo) laying in a huge bathtub filled with bubbles while my nurse was busy making a bunch of big gulps. i drank part of one and she yelled at me that my surgery was going to be postponed if i continued to drink soda. so i sat in the bubble bath and nervously waited for the other nurse to come draw my blood. i panicked that i forgot my laptop and was scared that i couldn't find my friend to help me go through the surgery. the water got cold and then i woke up.

i also had a dream that i was already banded and was on a roller coaster. we went over a HUGE hill (hill?) and then went down a dip super fast and i threw up my band! never mind that it's on the OUTSIDE on my tummy. i woke up freaked out a bit. LOL.

i have WEEKS to go and i'm already having crazy dreams every night. can't wait to see what my mind produces as the date gets closer!!! :heh:

I have crazy dreams all the time. So far, none about the surgery. But I do dream about food. I am hoping that as I lose weight I will dream about oreos and brownies and so forth less. I think I am stuck dreaming about pizza-- I take pizza orders for a job. Right now I can get a craving and it can be weeks that have passed and the craving will not go away until I eat whatever it is that I am craving. And the dreams usually make me crave something!

Ah, anxiety dreams. :)

Mine were around eating something, and then realizing I hadn't chewed it. Or since I generally try to follow a low-carb diet, eating something high in carbs (which really doesn't phase me in reality) without realizing it... like "Oh I didn't know those pretzels were hidden inside the piece of bacon" and freaking out because I've blown it.

Welcome to type A. :)

Funny you should ask....I'm scheduled for 2/22 surgery. The other day I had a dream that I was on the gurney to go into surgery but in the waiting room w/DH and he was eating a bowl of chili. I then proceeded to to eat half the bowl (note: I H A T E chili). It was 1:40 (I checked my watch) and the dr. said i had to wait 'til 5:30 since they were doing surgeries in order of who was the biggest! Needless to say, I then wondered why mine was not done early in the AM (lol). Weird, I know.......but you asked.
