Dreaming about food?

[lapbandgirl4life 0]

Does anyone else dream about food, or am I just plain nuts? I have not been banded yet, but I am on a six month supervised diet which has me on a 1200 calorie diet (and I have been strictly adhering too).

Just today I had a dream that I was gorging down cheesecake lol. It was crazy and so vivid that I woke up thinking I had sabotaged my entire diet! I wish I could say this was the first time I've had these sorts of dreams, but it's not. Since starting my diet, I've been having at least 3 a week. I guess I shouldnt be all that surprised though. When I quit smoking I dreamt of cigarettes too and woke up thinking I had smoked lol.

Anyway, I hope I'm not the only one here that does this sort of crap. :biggrin:

I haven't with the band, but I have in the past on "diets"...and I dreamed about smoking when I was quitting back in 1995. I think it's just our psyche's way of handling the change, grieving and moving on! :biggrin:

I dream about food alot... i had a dream the night before surgury that i ate an entire freanch loaf!!! lol... then after sugury i had a dream that i ate half a pizza, and then woke up in a panic!!! I dont think its strange to dream about food while going through this whole process... we need to think about food alot to figure out how to live with the band.:teeth_smile:

I start my liquid diet next week, so this week I am on the 2 shakes and 1 real meal a day, and girl...I am dreaming of buffets, pizza, donuts...it's a NIGHTMARE, because I can TASTE the food in my dream...it's super weird...I asked some co-workers the other day if they have ever dreamt about food and they said no...I said...um...me neither.

Nope, sorry, but you're just nuts, lol.

Oh, yes, I *do* dream about food sometimes. I have a recurring one, I always have it when I go to bed a little drunk. Anything past that 3 glasses of wine, when you got to bed holding on to the bedside table because the bed keeps spinning and tipping, ergh, I must be really dehydrated because I *ALWAYS* dream of gorging myself on watery iceberg lettuce.

Weird, I know.

I don't think I had ever dreamed about food until the night after my first day of pre-op!! I had a bbq sandwich in my dream and I woke up thinking I had a bbq sandwich and ruined my pre-op diet! hahaha! Haven't had one since but I'm sure there will be more to come!
