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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
