Have any of you had dreams, nightmares rather, that you were pigging out with food you can't eat during preop? I've had a few, I wake up panicked!

Omg I thought that was just me! It's been like every other night since I started the diet, ill take a bite of like a cracker in my dream and wake up so upset and think that I cheated! So crazy!

The dreams are normal. I did a Water fast once for 27 days and had those same dreams. I would have to ask my husband if what I dreamt happened several times. It was crazy.

I didn't have any dreams but my husband has this Cincinnati Skyline Chili for lunch today and it smelled so good. I drank my shake and enjoyed the smell. I sticking to this liquid diet too, no matter how bad it tastes. It's better in a wine glass with ice?

Oh, and sitting on the deck while you drink it like a cocktail.

TOMORROW AT THIS TIME I'LL BE CLOSE TO BEING OUT OF SURGERY! Surgery is at 7:45. Have to be there at 5:45. Staying in a hotel tonight since the hospital is 2 hours away. Cannot wait to be on the loser's bench!!! Good luck everyone!

Last night I dreamt I had chocolate with hazelnuts at church in the town we are moving to. I'm not worried about this because the church I have chosen is an hour drive from the town we are moving to, so I know it is impossible. Furthermore, I made a Formula 1 race happen in town, with non-race car drivers driving alongside the race cars. I am chocking it up to nerves.

I woke up at 6:30 and have been finishing my preparations. I am making Jello, frozen pops, and getting the house ready and clean top to bottom. I have finished my packing list (my surgeon requires a three-night hospital stay) and am gathering everything I will need post-surgery.

Here's my packing list:

- Baby Wipes

- Face Cloths

- Lip Balm

- Shampoo

- Soap

- Lotion

- BB Cream

- Wedding Ring

- Flip Flops

- Dress

- binder

- Bra

- Towel

- Toothbrush & Toothpaste

- Electronics And Chargers

- Afghan Or Shawl

- Ear Plugs

- Journal And Pen

- Medical Records

I just got the final call from my surgeons office that everything has been approved. They will call me later with check-in time for tomorrow. I think it has finally set in and I am starting to cry. I am happy and so nervous. I know this is the best thing for me -but now doubt is rushing in.

I have ROCKED my 3 day liquid diet though! So that gives me real hope and strength. I can't wait to talk to you all after we are on the losers bench!
