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

      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.
