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.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
