Pre-op liquids start today and another crazy dream

i start my pre-op diet today and I have to admit I have some anxiety about it.  I have heard and read other people's experiences about how hard it is.  I have been drinking protein shakes for breakfast for over a month preparing for this change in my life so this morning won't be too bad but I'm sure by tonight I will know something is different.  In fact when I now say I need to go make breakfast, my two year old says "shake?"

I had another crazy dream this morning that I "accidentally" ate all sorts of things today that I wasn't supposed to eat.  I dreamt that I kept finding myself mindlessly eating and the next thing I knew I had something crazy in my mouth like a chocolate chip cookie, or a ham sandwich.  Again, I haven't eaten any refined sugar in over a month.  I know that part of my life is over and even if someone waved a chocolate chip cookie under my nose today I wouldn't eat it.  I think my subconscious is giving me some not so subtle messages about how much my life is changing and I need to pay attention.

Me too but I have not had as much pre op prep on the shakes as you. Good Luck! You can do it!

I was on shakes for 2 weeks pre-op and hated it. I kept reminding myself it was just for 2 weeks, then I never have to do that again... I also dreamt about eating and feeling guilty about it.

I also had some anxiety about starting my pre op liquid diet. Once I committed to the diet I was very strict with no cheating. I lost 17 pounds during my 2 week pre op liquid diet. 

good luck!

Thanks,
