612belly 32 Posted August 20, 2012 I am not hungry at all! However I am having mini dreams of butter crossants, cheeses, mustard, greens and turkey. But in these dreams I am always making the sandwiches for other people! I have no temptation to cheat as I know this is the most important time being 5 days post. It's just weird!

VACookey 111 Posted August 20, 2012 I've had dreams about sandwiches too! Specifically, I eat half a sandwich really quick and then remember that I shouldn't. Then I sit and wait for the pain. I've had this same dream several times since surgery. Weird! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clk 3,519 Posted August 20, 2012 I never dream about food but did it briefly post op. I think you just miss chewing your meals and it messes with your head! I can tell you from experience that actually eating a sandwich isn't very exciting post op. It took me forever to be able to eat enough of one to feel like it was a worthwhile option! ~Cheri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lml32937 65 Posted August 21, 2012 True story- when I was in the hospital after my surgery I was stupidly watching the food channel- my favorite one... and they had a sandwich show on that showed a hamburger that was krispy kremes as the bun- it was the most amazing and worst thing I could have seen at the same time... I craved sandwiches too- I had a hard time and still do with bread and this may sound gross but in the beginning when I wanted something I took 2 saltines and put a peice of cheese and or meet and made like a sandwich because crackers were waaay easier to eat. Now I use whole wheat pita pockets and they are thin enough that it isnt a problem. GOod luck but your not weird- we all go through it and dream it too!!

NtvTxn 1,262 Posted August 23, 2012 I'm 26 months out and I seldom eat a sandwich at home, just a few times I've eaten a half a Peanut Butter sandwich or bologna sandwich, but we do go to a place here in town called Which Wich. Yum!! I get all sorts of goodies on it, cucumbers, tomatoes, banana peppers, on a toasted wheat roll. I still can only eat half of a 7" sandwich and half the time I do not eat all the bun of that little 3.5". It's wonderful. The roast beef, turkey and ham sandwiches are all decent Protein and low in fat. Unless you NEED the calories, leave off the cheese.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
