NixNichi 79 Posted February 21, 2017 This might sound super silly....but I keep having dreams of eating things I can't have! Is this happening to anyone else? For instance, I just woke up from a dream in which I ate an entire pizza with ranch and parmesean. Im about 40 days out from surgery. These dreams are killing me!! (I don't even think normally I could have eaten a whole pizza....) 2 janedoe92 and BigTink2LilTink reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torriluv87 300 Posted February 21, 2017 I always have dreams like that if im fasting or restricting my calories really low. My mind gets fixated on food and i have bouts of insomnia. It happened really early on post op and pre op. If you aren't on solids yet it'll probably get better once you start having real food. Just try to power through it, i know its hard. And i couldn't eat a whole pizza pre op either but post op me swears to good i could demolish an entire Chicago style pizza lol. Insane! Lol 1 NixNichi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carter7165 21 Posted February 22, 2017 I haven't had any dreams about food, but i have noticed I have been dreaming a lot since I had the surgery. About random things. Maybe because I'm sleeping better due to the weight loss. As far as weird food stuff...I love to watch other people eat!! lol It creeps them out, but I'm like, please just eat it and tell me how good it is!! I just want to watch you eat it!! 2 NixNichi and janedoe92 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olypie 41 Posted February 22, 2017 I started dreaming about food about a month pre-op. I'm two weeks out of surgery and I'm still dreaming of eating. Last night it was Wendy's fries and some nachos lol. 2 daisy63 and NixNichi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I don't even think normally I could have eaten a whole pizza....) First year I had that. Hell the first 4 months were bad with dreams of eating things I knew I couldn't eat any more. It gets better with time though. Just hang in there. 1 daisy63 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NixNichi 79 Posted February 22, 2017 XD well I am very glad it's not only me. (last night was a California Burrito[emoji47]) I am still on the pureed foods stage so I am almost positive that has something to do with it. I do find myself craving a lot so battling with my mind has been a challenge but eating the puree reminds me just how small my stomach is, and how it can't handle that stuff anymore.

brownsfan321 12 Posted February 23, 2017 I was sleeved on 2/6 and the day before yesterday I had my first food dream about pizza Hut pizza. I knew in my dream I couldn't eat it so I just ate all the toppings(still bad). I woke up so hungry, hoping it doesn't become a trend haha. Also, I don't like to watch people eat but anytime my wife makes something I have to smell it, like vigorously haha. She's had about enough of it. Good luck with the dreams! 2 carter7165 and NixNichi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NixNichi 79 Posted February 23, 2017 Omg! Lately my nose has gotten so sensitive to smells. When my mom cuts open an orange I have to smell it because it just smells like it would taste so good! 3 carter7165, daisy63 and brownsfan321 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mexicosleever88 30 Posted February 24, 2017 I am 15 days out and I have had a dream every single night since surgery about food. pizza, popcorn and big breakfasts LOL. Every single morning I wake up and I'm like DANG IT LOL. It's hilarious, sad sometimes. But funny. Not going to lie, I've shed some tears over not having pizza with the friends. One week post op I actually had an all out melt down and went in my room and cried till I fell asleep....to which I dreamed about [emoji487]. THINGS THEY DONT TELL YOU ABOUT WLS LMAO 2 brownsfan321 and carter7165 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NixNichi 79 Posted February 24, 2017 Lol! Omg! I feel you so hard on pizza tears I think the second week post op I put groceries for my family away and I just started crying cause I just wanted to chew on something! But it does suck when people want to go out to eat and you can't ;_; or want to eat something you know you can't have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NixNichi 79 Posted March 1, 2017 XD I'm so glad I'm not the only one! Also as of last Friday I officially moved to the soft foods stage. It's helped quite a bit with the dreams cause I feel like I'm actually eating. (Not much but better then nothing) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
