Omg, I am having dreams about cheating on my diet :(



Recommended Posts

So it's days 12 after surgery and lately I've been dreaming about food. Last night, I had a dream that my SIL came over and he bought a at least 10 different kind of chocolate cakes and I kept eating and eating and eating. Then I tell her omg I can't believe all the hard work I put into losing weight I just gained it back in seconds. I told her I wish she never came because I was doing so good. Before surgery, every time me and her hung out we made delicious food, got Snacks and watched movies. This freaked me out when I woke up because I thought I effed my baby pouch.. All good though, I didn't cheat haha :)

That was a nightmare for sure!!!!!!!!!

YESSSS, I miss my chocolate cake so very much.

If you subscribe to Freud, dreams are the royal road to the subconscious.

Be ever vigilant and aware in the coming weeks.

Lately I dream of Pasta when my blood sugar is too low. (I am diabetic.) Freud aside, our attachment to certain types of food takes time to break. Our bodies are going through addiction withdrawal. For you, chocolate cake. For me, pasta!

But we will succeed!

Ah the subconscious....

Your dream and ones like it seem normal to me...

Better to dream about it then do it

Ahhh the subconscious mind... Try not to focus on what you think you "can't" have.

There are a bunch of things you can have after being sleeved that will help with sweet cravings. Jello makes a sugar free double chocolate pudding that hits the spot for me. I debated weather the fat free was better, but the carb count on the sugar free works better for me. Check out theworldaccordingtoeggface.com and emilybites.com Tons of great recipes that you and your SIL can try next time. You may find some new favorites!

old joke> If you dream about a giant marshmallow don't eat it...it's your pillow! :D

I had an opposite dream last night. I looked down in my dream and it was an absolute straight shot to my feet....no belly, no loose skin, what I used to look at when I was a skinny kid.

Without big bucks for plastics...dreams do remain just dreams at times.

Thats funny , i think it very common. My co-worker and I discuss about our food dreams we were having. I had a dream i was swimming in cola and drinking it, eating mac and cheese and eating chocolate molten cake. Then i wake up and realize just my mind dreaming of my old desires.

      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.
