No more Niquil for me... woooo weeeee!!!

Ok... I have to share a silly moment..  Let me start by prefacing this... I work 12-hour shift nights and have a hard time sleeping most days so my co-workers told me to try some niquil (it does the trick for them).  So I thought I'd try it... wooooo weeeee!!!  I've always had vivid dreams but let me tell you this one... lol!   I dreamt about little pink kittens floating around playing with purple lady bugs and little blue puppies playing with neon green butterflies...  I was in my dream too.. just floating around laughing...  This dream lasted a long time!!!  LOL!!  When I woke up I thought what in the world was that about, but I slept well and had fun dreams...  Have ya'll had any weird dreams since WLS?  I've had a few doosies but this one was the most colorful... lol!!!  I hope you've had a great weekend!

Sheryl, Are you sure you used Niquil?  What a wild dream. I have not had WSL yet. But, since I have been overweight, I haven't dreamed for a long time. I always enjoyed it. I hope they do come back as soon as I have WLS. Let us know if you have any more. Do you have a dream book? It would be interesting to see what it all means! Maureen

Maureen, Yes I'm sure it was Niquil... lol!  I always dream and I should write them down but just haven't done so yet.  I always dream in vivid color and in detail...  I wonder what that means?  Hmmmm now you got me wondering if I'm weirder than I thought... lol!   I wish you luck in dreamland!!!  

Heading out to Eckerd right now! 

Silly girl!    I'll just send my extras your way... oh and to top it off the drugstore didn't have the liquid type so I had to take these horse pills... I still have a hard time with pills... yuck!   Sweet dreams!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Sheryl..........gotta' watch out for those pink elephants!  Funny you should mention this about dreams, I have had really wierd dreams since my surgery. Last night I had 3 and they are very vivid, in detail, and make no sense.  They are also very long dreams and I feel myself breathing shallow while having them. I think this is still from my anesthesia, but have no idea how long mine'll last.  I'm just thankful they arent' bad dreams.

Nancy,  I'm glad you're not having bad dreams also!  My surgery was almost 5 years ago so I doubt mine is from the anesthesia - lol!  I actually have what I call a "safe house" when I have bad dreams (thank God I don't have them often) and I can make myself go to my "safe house" - that's probably weird too...  ugh!  I'm a mess!  I don't try to figure the dreams out, I just chalk them up to my overly active imagination... lol!   Sweet dreams tonight!!!  I hope you're feeling better!!!

Sheryl- It's hard to say...good sleep and crazy dreams...or no sleep? Hmmm, I'll take the Niquil! LOL

Yeah...  I'm trying to find a happy medium.  I don't like taking anything to help me sleep but my body doesn't like sleeping during the daytime.  One of these days I'll get a real persons job and work days with weekends off - now that's a dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Sheryl- If you don't mind me asking...what type of work do you do?
