DREAMS?!?!

So... started Opti on Wed May 17.... Since Thursday I wake up from nightmares where I am just doing normal things and the next thing I know I am EATING when I am supposed to be on this portion of the journey. Has anyone else had dreams/nightmares like this? I feel silly when I awake for being upset over eating in a dream but I can't help it.

I'll put my hand up for this one. I woke up on many occasions upset that I had screwed up only to realize it was a dream. I had similar dreams post op, I would dream about eating something (sometimes not even things I like) before I was supposed to be back to solids. For the record I didn't cheat during either of those times and things have been going really well but our brains can be strange lol.

Good Luck with everything!!

Thanks so much... I don't feel as crazy now. LOL

I have had similar dreams!!

Its a reief when you wake up and realize you didn't actually eat :)

It sounds like this post should be called nightmares!!!

In haven't had any, but I have barely started my journey, so haven't changed anything. Good to have some forwarning this can happen. It sounds awful. Good luck all.

I'm 4 months out this Wednesday and still have the food dreams, but in my dreams I avoid the yummy foods and then when I wake up I get mad at myself for not eating them because they wouldn't have counted, being as they were just dreams, lol.

Lolololol. This such a funny post. I say feast away in your dreams.

oddly, I don't remember having any eating dreams from right before or post-surgery, but I still occasionally have smoking dreams - and I quit smoking in 2004! I think addictions are such a huge part of your identity that their memories stay in your brain for a long, long time....
