My Strange Side Affect



Recommended Posts

So after surgery I've had a VERY strange side affect from the surgery. It had to do with my sleep. So every night for the first week I would toss and turn and every time I'd move from one side to another I believed I was making a bid on eBay. What was I bidding on I have no idea. The worse part of it was there was a song playing on repeat which was call me maybe. And I don't know infant one has heard that song but its annoying as all hell. I was very upended and have been shaking in a corner.

I had really weird, vivid dreams maybe the first week. I was so freaked out I didn't want to sleep. Cant remember any of the dreams in detail, thank goodness! My surgeon said it was a side effect of the anesthesia and pain meds, which I stopped taking immediately after our conversation.

In the past I was taking a pain pill and I would have vivid dreams of my front teeth sliding out and there was no end to it....That was when I stopped taking the pain pill. Scared the hell out of me.....:)

This is funny because I had a really vivid dream the other night! First, I had a nightmare and I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep for almost two hours because I was so stressed out and feeling down. What did I used to do when I was stressed out and down? Stress eat! So I fell back asleep and had a really, REALLY realistic dream that I ate half a large pizza, half a serving of buffalo wings, and a serving of chicken strips. After I ate all of that, which I did in like two seconds, I looked around at all of the carnage and thought "Oh crap! I had surgery. This is going to hurt!" and at that instance, the food bolus hit my stomach and it was the worse pain ever! It woke me up!

The funny thing is the next day I was talking to one of my co-workers who specializes in substance abuse treatment and she laughed at me and said that her clients usually have really vivid "using dreams" right after they quit their drug of choice. It just goes to show that food addictions are real!

I know it isn't funny.... but what a weird thing to dream about!

My vote is that maybe it is time to consider stopping any pain meds before the Rabbit and Cheshire Cat show up.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
