These dreams... (sorry, long)

I always have vivid dreams and lately they have been about WLS.  Last night I dreamt that there was a group of 30 or so people and we were being given a tour of the operating room and hospital floor. The tour ended in the operating room and there were tables upon tables of baked goods. Cookies, donuts, cakes, pies, muffins, brownies, everything. The doctors who were doing the tour told us to stay in the room, socialize and get to know one another because it may be helpful for us to have a support system after surgery. They also told us to help ourselves to the refreshments. Mostly everyone started talking and eating and I was walking around looking at all the junk food. I refused to eat it, though, because I am motivated darnnit! lol  So the doctors came back in, said they were watching through two-way mirrors and proceeded to go up to everyone that had eaten, touched them on the shoulder and told them they were kicked off the registry. I was so giddy because I knew I hadn't eaten anything and would get to have the surgery.

Then a doctor came up to me and asked if they could use me as an example of what it would be like to go under general anesthesia. I agreed, got up on the table, they put a mask on my face and the next thing I knew I woke up (in my dream). My stomach was sore and the doctors told me they went ahead and did the RNY so everyone else could watch. I was confused and sore but happy. They said as a reward I would get to pick out a pair of shoes to take home with me. In real life, I cannot wear dress shoes as my feet are size 11.5 men's so more than size 13 in women's. I'm hoping that with some weight loss I may be able to get a nice pair of shoes someday so I think that's how it factored into my dream. So there was this huge pile of shoes in the middle of the floor and I kept trying on pair after pair and they all fit! I was ecstatic in my dream. lol  The doctors told me to hurry up because they had to clean the room, and they grabbed me to usher me out the door. I grabbed 2 shoes but they weren't a matching pair and I was begging them to let me find a matching pair but they were putting my coat on for me. I was mad because one shoe was pink with a bow on it and I don't like pink or bows.  I put a shoe in my pocket and my fingers went into a melted chocolate bar that was in my pocket. I wouldn't take my hand out of my pocket because I was afraid the doctors would see the chocolate, say I didn't deserve the surgery and would then reverse the RNY. As the doctors were pushing me out the door, my sister appeared, grabbed my arm and said, "C'mon, we're going out for burgers!" (she's vegetarian in real life) I was yelling after her, "But I can't eat red meat yet! I can't eat red meat yet!"

Then I woke up.

I love these dreams. lol  Feel free to share yours if you have any! :)

Wow, that's a vivid dream. I choked on my protein shake as I was laughing so hard. Thanks for sharing.

Haha - love it - thanks for sharing!!

I have been having weird dreams, although not as vivid as my date gets closer... sleep is becoming restless.  But let's see what my imagination cooks up tonight.

That was hilarious.

Thanks for that!!!!

Melissa it is sad the vulnerability we feel and the lack of control we have regarding the process and say in it that we have.  I think you may be trying to make sense of it all. A bit like the exam that says write your name in the top corner and then goes on and on but asks no question the point being we were only asked to do one thing if you do more okay but if you did not follow the instructions regarding the name you fail.  And I felt sad for you with the miss matched shoes and the candy bar.  As I write this I feel off for having just not said boy that was funny like others did but I can relate to some of that dream in a real and sad way
