Hey Post-Ops......

morning smores! I have yet another very strange question. But I guess by now.....you knew I was full of them. Have any of you post-ops noticed that your dreams are different now? I dont mean the "want to weigh 110 and fit into a size 5" sort of dreams. I mean actual nitey-nite dreams. I cant explain HOW mine are different.....but I know they are. (told you it was a weird ?) So...how is life treating everyone? SOOS......I'm ALMOST there being glad I got this surgery. (one foot is over the line anyways) Thank you all for being super morbidly obese!! If you werent.....I would never have had the chance to get to know so many great people! willby

Willby, You are one weird little chickadee ... lovable, but weird!!! There are lots of things I like about you, but one of my favorite things is this type of thing ... off the cuff, strange questions. I love it! I've had some weird dreams (like you unexplanable as to HOW they're different, but they FEEL different ... and *NO* they're not x-rated), but I've just thought they were the results of foods I've eaten. Now I'll really have to pay attention. The thing is they're not too memorable, I just know I dreamed something strange. (So, move over on that "weird" bench, I'm sitting down!) Also, I don't think I've *EVER* been thanked for being super morbidly obese before, what a new experience! Do I say "You're welcome" ??? (falling out of my chair here laughing!) You're one of a kind!!! (((hugs))) Myra

Hi Willby, I've gotta agree with Myra, I 've never been thanked for being Super Morbidly Obese before. I have to admitt, I kinda like the first word in that phrase..."SUPER" isn't that empowering??? You are right, if we had never been SMO..I don't think we could ever have the insight that comes from "been there, none that" I don't mean to sound unhumble but...I see people in a different way now....more accepting I think....Not so much US against THEM. I stand up for myself more, and I'm not taking any more guff!!! There I go laying on the DRAMA again. Hugs to all, Virginia aka Ginger P.S. Any good garage sale finds yesterday Willby??

Willby, I'm 7.5 months out and very glad I got the surgery. Not that I think it is the easy way out...oh no. I don't think I'm dreaming much, or at least I can't remember if I am. I'm just so happy in my waking life to be able to do so much more then I could when I weighed 121 lbs more then now! I feel like I've been let out of a fat prison! Most SMOers have hearts as big as their current (or former) behind. You can really see that on this list! Lori 384/263/168

It's a s.w.a.g. on my part but what immediately came to mind is that you are sleeping better. You know, the REM thingy. When I first started my C-PAP, my dreaming increased. Dreams are only weird if you do it right. You have to work up to the X-Rated ones. Mary P from Tennessee

ummm Willby.... weird dreams after surgery - another thing for me to look forward too! ha ha ha Purhaps you are eating more blan (spell???) - not spicey foods now after surgery and that is effecting your normal dreaming pattern. Or maybe the intestine you had removed is the dreaming center and now you have to dream through your head instead. (I don't think so) But then it could be that your body is able to sleep in more unusual positions now which lead to different dreaming patterns for you. Gosh I am so full of ideas - or something...ha ha ha I am glad that you are super morbidly obese so I could meet you here on this bmi over 50 board! Isn't it great to be fluffly! Have a wonderful day Willby. How did your garage saling go yesterday? Big hugs, Pam

Well Will I just i have to asked this one..... you must be as bored has i'am for just thinking of that question do any of know how to cure bordem? lol

HA WILLBY, I knew you would admit it at some point. Good for you, you will be there before you know it. You were a challenge to say the least, but it was worth the work and patience to hear you say that you are almost there. As far as dreams....well I dont know about that one. The only difference in my dreams now is that I am not a SMO anymore, just like when I am not dreaming. And when I wake up, it is wierd to have had a "Thinner" dream and its really true. Your welcome, Im glad I was a SMO too. I have met so many nice people that I wouldnt change it for anything. Hugs, Soos
