Anyone Else Having or Had Food Dreams/Nightmares?



Recommended Posts

Today is Day 5 of my Pre op liquid diet and so far I've had two food dreams. The first one I couldn't stop eating gooey chocolate chip Cookies, fresh from the oven. Last night I dreamt I was at a restaurant and ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries and they messed up my order and brought me THREE! Of course, I ate them. At the end of each dream I feel terrible guilt, then I wake up, relieved it was all a dream!

Just wondering what others food dreams have been, or am I just weird? LOL!

I did! My first week post op I had dreams (nightmares) of eating chicken while I was still on Clear Liquids. I'd wake up in a panic- sweaty & breathing fast& terrified thinking "omg, I need to go to the hospital!" But then I'd realize it's just a dream. LOL

I had dreams the first two weeks after surgery about eating solid foods and woke up panicked that I hurt my sleeve! Scary stuff!

I have those dreams all the time!! It's when I'm really focusing on not eating certain foods... The other night I dreamed that I just COULDN'T STOP drinking a big cup of soda! And I paused and was like "wait this is bad for me! Oh well" *chug chug chug*. HAHAH!

I too had food dreams the 1st 2 weeks post op... I would eat solid food in my dreams and wake up in a panic that I had sabotaged my surgery and my sleeve. The good thing is that it went away and I have literally had head hunger once or twice in the past 7 wks!!! Best wishes to you

      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. 🤞
