Whats the weirdest food related dream?

Whats the weirdest food related dream since getting sleeved?

Since a big portion of our new weightloss struggle is dealing with head hunger, I figure Im not the only one to get food dreams.

My dream yesterday was the weirdest so far.

I was with a coworker (whom i recognised as a real life employee at the company i work for but that i do not interact with). We are driving to my new property in the boonies of some small town. When we get there the house, which looks like a more run down version of the AHS 6 house, is locked and i apparently dont have keys. The rest of the crew (and my husband too i guess) are a couple of hours behind us.

We decide to drive up this crazy hilly road that dissapears behind the house. It takes us to a ramshackle resturant were we decide to get some food. Coworker and I both order sandwiches. Mine is some sort of chicken sandwhich, slightly smaller than a 6" from Subway. About 2/3rds of the way throu it I decide that I want another sandwhich, i am still hungry. I walk up to the counter and start looking at the menu.

For some reason the menu is hard to read/understand. The names and descriptions dont really make sense, so i cant decide what i want. I am hemming and hawwing, asking whats good from several people but get no sololid answer. I let a few people cut in front of me and they get food fast. After about 25 min of this indecision, i go to the bathroom. When i come out, some sort of buffet has been set up in the middle with different plates of food on plastic tables.

I ask the cook how much is the buffet and she takes a lookat what is out there (spiral ham dinner, pizza, chicken wings, potato skins) and quotes me $11. I pay her, smirking to myself, thinking i got a good deal because i didnt pay for the chicken sandwhich. I grab a plate and turn around and the "buffet" is decimated. There are just a few slices of cold pizza left, a few rubbery looking chicken wings, and half eaten eaten potato skin. I am confused by how fast the food dissapeared but i dig thru the pizza boxes for a few slices and grab a couple of wings.

I return to the table where my coworker, who has long finished his meal, stares at me with glazed over eyes, telegraphing boredom and contempt. I realize, looking down at my partially finishing sandwhich and cold pizza, that its been an hour since i got up to get more food.

And then I wake up.

I haven't had my surgery yet (11/17), but I had a dream last week that I forgot that I had surgery and 2 days later went to get some buffalo wings and after I ate them I realized what I had done, but it was too late. My stomach had already exploded... Anxiety much?

I woke up this morning convinced that I had raided the snack cupboard in my house and eaten a cookie. I'm five days post op-funny thing is that the first thing I felt was guilt! For something I hadn't even done!!

I had a couple food dreams pre-op while on the liquid diet and starving. In one dream I went to Carls' Jr and ordered one of those big 'ol juicy burgers. I got in a car and started speeding down the road. I was trying to avoid anyone I knew. I parked on some lawn of an unknown house and was enjoying the hell out of the burger. Then my husband came up to me out of no where and was staring at the burger questioningly. I knew I was caught but played it off. Then I saw a police car go racing past us, turn around, and come back towards us. And I woke up.

I haven't had any food dreams since surgery.

        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
