Dreaming about food?



Recommended Posts

I am on day four of my 2 week liquid pre-op diet and I am doing really good actually, but I just woke up from a nap where I was dreaming about eating "regular" food! Even in my dream I was telling myself, I am not supposed to be eating this!

Has anyone else had food dreams while on the liquid diet?

LOL, my DH was sleeved on Mon. and told me that he was having food dreams. For instance in one of them everyone was sitting around watching TV and someone passed him a bag of chips and he actually ate one.

He is on liquids post-op for 10 days, so he definitely can't eat any food.

I don't remember having any food-related dreams when I was sleeved, but I rarely remember my dreams, anyway. I think it is pretty normal.

I had post op dreams no preop though..I dreamed 1 week after sugery that I ate a half a bag of Doritoes and when I woke up I thought I was going to die. It gets really weird after sugery for a couple of weeks.

I had a reoccuring nightmare for the entire pre-op diet. I eat an entire pizza and as I'm cramming the last piece into my mouth I suddenly remember that I'm on the pre-op diet and am not supposed to eat any of it. I start panicking thinking I've ruined everything for my surgery... And when I would wake up, sometimes it would take me a minute to realize it was a dream and the surgery was still on.

I tottaly had those dreams. I would dream I was eating something I was not suposed to and then would start panicing cuz I ate it and thought I was hurting myself. Then I would have dreams where people wold try to get me to eat things and I would actually turn them down. I still have those dreams and I am 4 months out

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
