I am 6 days post op today. My dr requires a full week of Clear liquids which seems a little longer than most ive seen here. I think my body is ready for some protien because I took a nap yesterday afternoon and had an intense food dream.

My family was at the beach trying to decide which restaurant to eat at for lunch, but they kept getting distracted and wandering off. I was intently scrutinizing all of the menu choices and it was very vivid. I was insistent that we needed to eat right away because I was so hungry. Funny thing is that when I woke up I was not hungry at all. I think i am just sick of juice and Water. Lol!

Anyone else having food dreams or is it just wacky me?

OMG! I just had a food dream last night! I wanted to go to a local fast food restaurant from my home town.

I'm 5 days post surgery and on full liquids. I'm not hungry either but the dream was a little sad because that hamburger seemed so good!

I had Clear Liquids for 1 week post-op. I drank a lot of broth. Won ton Soup without the won-tons/green onions, and the broth from french onion Soup were my favorites.

Second week was full liquids.

I don't think the 1 week of clear liquids post op is uncommon.

I never had food dreams.

It seems like I see a lot of people drinking Protein shakes a day or 2 post op. I can't have one until wed.

A few days after surgery I had a bizarre dream that my partner decided to make cocktail sausages for Breakfast, and decided to bring them to bed - I was annoyed at this in my dream as my dream self had had the surgery and couldn't eat.

So while he nipped out of the room, I decided that if only I could chew a sausage and taste it, without swallowing, that would be nice. So I did.

Then the dream setting flipped around and I was going into our living room (with the chewed cocktail sausage still in my mouth) so I had to discreetly throw the chewed sausage into an open fire (our living room doesn't actually have an open fire).

As I say, bizarre.

The last couple night I have been getting food dreams as well. It seems to be the same food item, crinkle cut fires. Which is odd since I rarely ever ate them.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
