Unexpected side effect.



Recommended Posts

food dreams. I dreamed last night I got super frustrated about something (I don't remember what) but I went and got a Subway sandwich and cooked 3 packages of Ramen noodles! I remembered after I dished it up that there was no way I was gonna eat that much so I put some

Of the broth and almost all of the noodles back. But I still say there and ate the entire sandwich!! Got to love crazy dreams.

I tend to have really vivid dreams when I'm doing something life changing. WIth the nicotine stuff, and quitting aids I've had some seriously amazing unconscious acid trips. Full surround sound, in color, even tactile sensation, some even lucid dreams.

One night I spent riding motorcycles through country lanes next to hedgerows in england and ridiculous rates of speed.

That was absolutely amazing.

And then you have a nightmare that's just as vivid.

On one hand it's really cool just what your brain can come up with. On the other it's really creepy to think about your subconscious talking to you through a door while it's in werewolf shape telling you how it's going to chew your intestines.

No food dreams for me. But when I quit smoking almost 3 years ago I started having smoking dreams and still occasionally have them. It's a guilt thing because when I wake up I always feel guilty and "so stupid" for giving in and smoking a cigarette and then it dawns on me that it was just a dream.

I've found I, not having the dreams, but I am compelled to click on all those Facebook videos of recipes and such, it's like food porn!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
