I am 5 days post op and I am so exited about this. I have had very little pain and nausea, I feel great. I am so afraid I am going to forget that I´m sleeved and just by habit stuff my mouth with junk. I dreamed I had a bag of cheese doodlez and I woke up all scared. What will prevent me from putting junk in my mouth just as a pass a piece of food or snack? Have any of you forgot about the sleeve and made a mistake?

Great to hear. So I will just plan to go on a feeding frenzy at night in my dreams? Anyone want to join?

This happened to me EVERY night during my pre-op phase, but I haven't had ANY dreams of food since surgery 10 days ago! (except for one about eating some gross mush last night) I kept waking up thinking I had 'cheated' and eaten something I shouldn't have!! So weird.... but i agree -delicious dreams are calorie free!!!

My first night home I dreamt I had ate French fries, I woke up scared to death until I realized it was a dream. WHEWEEEE!

I dreamed about food and eating the wrong thing for a couple of nights, too. Funny how that works!

As for randomly going by and putting something in your mouth...well, one step would be to NOT walk by random junk. My kids made trail mix on the 2nd day I was home. I asked them to take it to their rooms because I knew it'd be hard to walk by and NOT pick up a few pieces of it.

But also, you HAVE to focus on what you're doing right now. Post-op, you're really having to make some changes to your eating...from drinking liquids, to thinking about how much Protein you're getting in, paying attention to the "full" signals, sipping instead of gulping, etc. So it's not like you're going to be on auto-pilot with what goes into your mouth...and that'll include NOT eating the wrong things.

      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.
