Amusing (sort-of) moment of panic!

[no onions 258]

My sleeve surgery is scheduled for later this month. I go from excited to not thinking about it all.

I awoke this morning, sleeping on my stomach, and had a few moments of weirdness. I thought I had just had my surgery and was almost in a (dazed-sleepy) panic about hurting myself by sleeping on my stomach. So - apparently I'm thinking about the whole thing more than I thought - thank you subconscious!

Are u not allowed to sleep on your stomach post surgery?

Right after I had surgery, for about a month or so, I'd have dreams that I'd eaten entire sleeves of oreo Cookies or bread or other high carb things. I would wake up so scared that I'd messed up on my diet or damaged the surgery. It is crazy how going through a life change like this can take over your head. Good luck to you and enjoy the ride

@@lanipilgreen - I'm not sure about the answer to that and will be discussing it with my Dr.

I found an older thread that might have some info (or opinions anyway).

I was sleeved this past Thursday and have been having crazy dreams. Not so much about food. More so about getting in liquids and peeing all the time. Turns out it happens while I'm awake and asleep.

I quit smoking years ago and still have dreams when I start smoking again and hate myself for it. Then I wake up and am so glad it was only a dream. I call it my phantom addiction dreams. I imagine that after surgery I'll have similar dreams, but about food.

I JUST had another dream again last night. In the dream I was at a silent auction and I had 3 dinner rolls! lol, I was incredibly relieved when I woke up.
