Anyone else having food dreams? I have been jones-ing for food so bad. Last night I had dreams that I ate a whole sandwich and that I ate most of an apple fritter?!? then thought "OMG, my new pouch is going to explode! What have I done?!" Thank god I wake up, but then I wake with cravings for apple fritters

I haven't yet dreamt about food, that I remember. But I DO remember dreaming about being SKINNY. I looked down and there was no flabby tummy. I remember thinking - WOW ... I've never seen THAT. And I was so happy. So it's like a little vision I get to keep in my brain: the skinny me .. she's there!

I've had dreams similar to this...things like going through all the clothes in my closet and realizing none of them fit because they are too big...or that I'm in a social situation and have much more confidence than I ever had and I realize that my body though not skinny, is beautifully proportionate and curvy without being big. At least I can dream it (there was no sagging skin or boobs in my dreams...I already have both of those).

I have totally drempt about food!! Not alot but a few times. Very weird dreams! It is getting better everyday though. I am getting used to eating normal foods and my pouch and I are getting used to eachother! No regrets here but I do miss certain foods! TURTLE SUNDAES!!! It will all be worth it in the end!

I often dream about hot sweaty shirtless firemen. ...but I had those dreams as a pre-op too.

I had a dream one of the first nights home so I was still on pain killers. My husband was hiding a burrito from me and I was ready to fight for it. I was really mad. I woke up and had to think for a minute if it really happened.

I've had several! The night before the surgery, I dreamed I ate a package of peanut-butter crackers, only remembering after they were in my mouth that I couldn't have any food before surgery, which led me in the dream to chew them up and then spit them out! (And since the surgery, I thought of that once or twice when I was tempted to eat something I shouldn't, but never caved.) Since the surgery, I have a food dream about once a week. The other night, I was going to try to eat a piece of pineapple upside down cake at a work conference after resisting all kinds of other carbs through the rest of the dream, only to get distracted when I found that all my stuff, including my checkbooks and wallet, had disappeared while I was off getting the cake. Talk about my subconscious yelling at me! Nice to know I'm not alone, though.

For the first couple of weeks after my surgery, I dreamt every night that I was eating full meals and lots of sweets like donuts, candy, and cake. In my dreams I would think, I'm ruining my surgery!

I am two weeks out today and have dreamt about food almost every single night! The first night home from the hospital I dreamed that I went to Taco Bell and then drove to Pizza Hut and had pizza and then to Baskin Robbins for Ice Cream! In my dreams I keep telling myself you are ruining your pouch you can't eat all of this and then I wake up terrified that I have been bad!

No real food dreams, yet. I HAVE been dreaming about smoking, which of course I had to quit before surgery. If you weren't a smoker, you can't understand. Giving up butts AND food within 5 weeks......I'll pat myself on the back for that. Thanks!
