Home two days....

I have been home two days and I am doin quite well. I had a dream today about eating chocolate cookies. I am guessing I will have a lot of dreams about food. Can anyone relate?? Luck to all.

I can. i have been home 3 days. I had jello on Thursday and today i had 1/2 boiled egg. My stomach is making so much noise, I can's sleep

Nicole Congratulations on your surgery! The dreams, I had also. Head hunger will about drive ya crazy. Just hang in there and they will go away. I think its because at first we can't have anything but liquids and soft food. And our mind is wanting more remembering what we use to eat. It will all be worth it in the end. Good luck on your journey! G

I remember the " Food Dreams " ,,, it would freak me out , I would dream I was eating something bad, and be scared I was the only person to fail at weight loss surgery LOL.... Veronica--- you said you had eggs, in the first week,,, OMG it was 4 weeks before I was able to eat a boiled egg, I bet your tummy was making noise. I had the protein shakes and water only the first few weeks. Take Care Allison

Hello Allison, Thank you. I have eaten cream of chicken soup and cottage cheese....very little. I am drinking my protein shakes and a lot of water...I think I may have over done with the food...slight pain in my chest...I am trying my best to follow all the instructions given to me. I may have overdone it yesterday...couldn't see my driveway...soooo many leaves, so I got the blower out and proceeded to spend about 2 hours blowing the leaves. I seem to have a lot of energy. Do you go to any support group meetings? My first is at Presby next Monday. Do they really work? Nicole

I go to the Presby Group...I find it helps because there are people at all stages.. you can hear different tips/tricks... struggles/success others have been thru. I find it helps keep me on track because you get a lot of encouragement from hearing others and also to hear how good you are looking since everybody saw you last. The meeting at Presby starts at 630 but I usually get there early because I work close by and get out at 5 so its a waste of time to drive home. Feel free to come by and chat if you would like As for dreams... I havent had any but my friend who is 5 years out use to have them for about 6 months... she said it was awful because she woke up thinking she really ate all those foods!!
