Food Dreams

[laylasmojo 10]

So I am still pre op and on the 10 day liver reduction diet wanting everything I see all though I dont eat it I do have these super vivid dreams about food , The first one was about me eating all these foods that I am not suposed to and I kept telling people that but they kept handing me food then last night I had a dream taht I went to a fine dinning restaurant with the family of my childhood ex best friend and the server just kepts bring the most delicious lobster, king crab legs, rich chocolate desseryts and various other scrumptious goodies. I just kept eating and it was great cuz I never got the uncomfortable super full feeling, then I work up and was thankfully not super hungry, I wonder if this is my bodys way of giving me what I want with out letting me have what I want??? So has anyone else had these kind of dreams ? and What was your dream food if you remember?

I've certainly had dreams with food pre-op and even the first couple of post op weeks, thank God they stopped! One dream I can remember is eating a yummy healthy sanwich, brown bread avocado etc. The good thing w this op is that eventually you will be able to eat all the things you love but in much smaller anounts!

After the surgery I dreamt about food for weeks. I was miserable. But it goes away. Thank God!

I had a dream just last night that I was eating Rice Krispy treats and then I realized that I had VSG and I started to panic. It's funny because yesterday we took the kids to a Halloween party where they grilled out and there were Rice Krispy treats there and it is easy for me to forget I had VSG.

I'm a foodie. I always have been. The majority of the shows on my TiVo are from either the food Network or the Cooking Channel, even after surgery. The difference is, now I look for the high-protein recipes or ways to turn them into WLS friendly recipes.

food has always been a big part of my life, and my family's life. I didn't have this surgery so that I could sever my relationship with food, I had this surgery to give myself a chance to be in control of my relationship with food. And my body. I still love food. But now I think of it as fuel. Fuel that can be tasty and beautiful and nutritious. But, it is no longer my best friend.
