Food dreams

[Daisee68 2,493]

OK just had my first food dream - at least that I woke up and remembered. It was potato chips! All kinds of chips! Not just the really good salty kind but there were really spicy ones and even chocolate covered ones! And they tasted oh so good! ???? And my first thought (in my dream) was "oh no! Now I know I can still eat potato chips and them go down easily, I may slide back into

that habit!". Haha! Good to know the habit changing thoughts of surgery has creeped in to my subconscious!

I did the RNY on Jun but I can eat almost everything even the potato chips. can you eat those things? and what happen to you if you do eat them? how much of food you can tolerate to eat in the same time? actually, I had a gastric banding revision to RNY and it's really new situation for me.

I had RNY on June 4. I am sure I could try potato chips but it is a trigger food for me so I don't even want to try. In the way of crunchy, the only thing I have had since surgery is 1 pork rind and 2 crackers. While they both went down OK, I am having enough trouble with getting in Protein from real food (especially meats) that I don't really have space to get in chips or other carbs. Solid foods are still giving me a but of trouble so I am sticking with soft/pureed foods for a while longer. I can generally eat anywhere from 1/8 cup (2 tablespoons) to 1/3 cup (just over 5 tablespoons) at any one time. Really depends in what it is. With something thin like Soup or yogurt I can get in a bit more but I only portion out no more than 1/2 cup and stop eating at 20 to 30 minutes even if not full so I don't overeat.

I hate to tell you this, but I quit smoking 20 years ago and *still* have smoking dreams! It may just be part of addiction (or past addiction) - it remains part of your identity, even years later. I won't be surprised if i have food dreams for a long time after this....
