Liquid diet dreams?

Is anyone else on the liquid diet having crazy, vivid dreams?(not about food lol) I am! I had dreams like this a long time ago when I was taking meds to quit smoking. I started my liquid diet April 27th.

I know what you mean! I've been having crazy dreams since the preop liquid diet as well. I'm a month post-op and occasionally have night were I sleep deeply with no remembered dreams, but the majority of the time it's vivid dreams that cause me to toss and turn some. I'm not sure what causes this. All I can figure is my body is burning calories in a different way.

I usually dont remember my dreams. How are you doing after surgery? I'm anxious and excited.

I'm doing very well, thanks. The first couple of days post op really sucked. But it gets so much better every day. By the end of the first week, I felt mostly back to normal. Dealing with the new relationship with food was a bit of a mental struggle in ways I hadn't considered. Everything changes and for me, that was a little challenging.

I never had buyers remorse and I would do it again without a second thought. It's truly a process and worth the hard work.

The best things I did preop were buy a couple of sippie cups. (I had a hard time sipping not gulping. I would take three gulps and when the third one was in my mouth, the first one would hit my tummy)

Gas X strips also were great. Kool aid Water Enhancer was a life saver. I love cherry and tropical punch.

Also, I bought small plastic containers to divide food up. I bought wayyyyyyy too much Soup and broth. Post op, a can of cream soup is like four or more meals.

Good luck!! It's worth it!!!
