Canadianjewel 4 Posted January 16, 2014 Hi I had my surgery last Friday in Tijuana and all went well. I'm at home resting and return to my office job next week. I didn't think I was craving any foods or even hungry and then I started dreaming About some of my favorite foods! Did anyone else have this problem? This happened when I did Atkins phase 1 for part of my pre-op diet I dreamt about carbs but now it's happening again? Also my friends invited me out to the movie tomorrow night but the smell of popcorn is gonna be tough, when I did this on the pre-op I was more interested in the popcorn smell than I was the movie.... How do you handle this kinda stuff? Any advice? Debbie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlotta1 401 Posted January 16, 2014 Yes..the first two weeks I did have food dreams..I woke up in the morning thinking I had actual eaten the food. I don't have these foods dreams now., it was like for a couple of nights at the beginning. As far as popcorn at the movies. That I used to love.. Bring a snack.. Like sugar free Jello pudding with a plastic spoon. That is how I handled that. At least u have something forward to eat. Hopefully this helps... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texasmeg 568 Posted January 16, 2014 I had a dream pre-op that I ate a HUGE ice cream sundae with hot fudge. I swear I actually tasted it. After eating it, I suddenly remembered it wasn't on my pre-op diet and was really upset with myself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teachamy 1,042 Posted January 16, 2014 LOL! I was just talking about this with my diabetes specialist yesterday! When my blood sugar goes low while I am sleeping, I dream about linguine! So weird! When I am awake, I never crave Pasta, but I used to love it, so I guess my mind is playing tricks on me! I've been wondering about the movies too. I think I will bring my Water and try to get through 32 oz. during the film. That would be an accomplishment! Good luck! 1 Texasmeg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sophiepants 489 Posted January 16, 2014 I was talking about not craving sweets one day 3 months post op and that night I had a dream I was a cake baker and had convinced myself I had to sample each cake I made! I "tasted" each bite I took of all those cakes lol 3 Teachamy, SuperFab and Texasmeg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
