Strange dreams post-op

[Museum-Mama 196]

I am almost a month out, and ever since surgery, i have been have the strangest dreams! Some boarderline nightmarish, but most are just sooooo wierd. When I was a healthier weight, I used to have very vivid dreams of all kinds, then over the last two or three years, I haven't been able to recall if I even dreamt at all. Now, its every night. Some of them exhaust me! I wake up physically tired from it.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi, I was just telling coworker about this last night. I had the same issue,thought it was from the Loratab, and stopped it after day 2 at home. However the crazy and yes scary at time dreams continue. I am 3 weeks out, and they seem to have stopped. I believe it is from being put under...

Yes I'm having the same issue. My sleep is horrible now, some nights from the dreams. Other nights its from tossing and turning all night. I'm 7 weeks out and this happens to me every night

The first week postop I kept having nightmares about eating. Like, throwing a piece of chicken in my mouth and thinking "omg! Im going to die!" Lol

I've always been an extreme dreamer. I know I could give Stephen King a run for his title if i coud write out my weird long drams that tend to make no sense in relations with my life. It's also probably why I get very little good sleep.

After surgery was full of more than my "normal" weird dreaming. No clue what the correlation is

lol, I've also had a couple of food dreams. The first night home from the hospital I dreamed that I found a three pack of king-size Snickers bars in my bathroom and started eating them -- ate an entire one before I remembered, oh, I'm sleeved, I can't eat this anymore!

The thing is, I've never been terribly tempted by candy bars (cookies are more my speed) and even to the extent I am, I don't like Snickers bars very much. So I have no idea why I dreamed about them magically appearing in my bathroom.

I had this happen to me too! It went away after about 2 months.
