nightmares about food



Recommended Posts

Hi guess what does anyone else have nightmares about eating the wrong foods sometimes I dream I ate an Italian hero from a deli and dreamed that I really enjoyed the Italian hero bread about the sandwich. Basically I have nightmares about eating fatty carbs and carbs that I can't or shouldn't eat. I swear nightmares like that are like a relapse or something it feels so real. when i wake up i realize i was only dreaming.

I had a dream the other night that I was sitting down and the skin from my thighs were touching the floor!!! I guess I'm worried about loose skin more than I thought! THat dream was completely irrational because I don't have that much weight to lose or the possibility of my skin to be that loose!!! Dreams are weird! Anyone want to analyze these for us??? lol

I used to have nightmares about eating cupcakes etc. For the rest of the dream I was just so upset with myself. The thing is now I don't even crave those things....

Been there. While low carbing I would dream of eating carby treats then freak out because I ruined the diet. It would be such a relief to wake up and find it wasn't real. Isn't it fun when the brain tries to process this stuff?

I used to dream about raw meat when I was pregnant, it was awful because it would make me sick, I would wake up gagging. Thankfully i never puked in bed! ( sorry tmi) I think this is the brain trying to find out why we don't eat that thing anymore, it gave us so much pleasure, maybe we just need a reminder? Darn pleasure centers! Oh I didn't crave raw meat while I was pregnant, I could barely stand it because I could smell it at 100 yds! (LOL) And I am a serious meat eater!

So far no weird dreams about the surgery, I am in for my last consult this week then the hit the ground running on my tests and hoped to be sleeved in March. I am sure I will have a few weird dreams before this is over!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
