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 :(

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. :blink:

      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.
