I had a food dream!

Thing is, i don't really *want* those things. I haven't had bread in.. jeez, I don't know! My husband and I cut out processed flour like 8 mos ago. I think it's my head hunger/brain making me have food porn dreams. lol

Real food is great.  I get so sick on french fries and bread that those foods don't appeal to me at all.  You'll find you have lost your taste for some foods, or have them and realize they just don't taste that good anymore.  Lin

The weird thing is that I cut out processed wheat over 6 mos ago and don't even crave bread or pasta anymore. I think it's just my head hunger since I'm not on solid foods yet!

I'm only a month out, and recently went into a store where the clerk was grooving on some steak fries. The smell was so strong and unpleasant that I had to leave. Thank you, RNY!

I have had some really strong smell aversions, too. I'm hoping this goes away when I am on solids and can eat some real foods!

I didn't have it happen on liquid/softs but I did dream about chocolate cake (which I don't even like that much) later on. I interpreted this to mean I was being a bit too strict so every time I had a dream where I dug into a chocolate cake with my fists and ate almost the whole thing, I'd let myself have a bite of potato at dinner or something else that I knew I'd eat on maintenance but was restricting in the weight loss phase until the feeling passed.

You know, that makes sense! I am on a pretty restrictive diet right now (fulls/purees), and I've been having really bad head hunger when I'm awake. It follows that it would translate into my dreams, too! I hope it goes away once I'm on solids! The toast part of it is what confused me since I haven't had toast in a really long time--my husband and I cut out processed wheat over 6 mos ago. Suppose it's like your chocolate cake thing!

I don't know why this is happening, but I keep smelling the aroma of baked goods in my house! It's been going on for 4 days now.  No one else smells it but me.  It's driving me crazy! Weird weird weird! 

WEIRD. I get that, too, sometimes. My nose is extremely sensitive these days. For example, my husband cooked some eggs in butter, and ALL DAY, all I could smell was that delicious browned butter smell, and it was killing me. lol

I had guilt dreams while on my liquid phase.......LOL  I used to make grilled cheese for DD2 for lunch almost everyday........I LOVE me some grilled cheese too!  It was too hard for me not to TASTE it!  So what I would do was chew on the yummy things I made for meals for the girls......I'd chew chew chew chew and get to taste the great flavor and get rid of my urge to chew......after I chewed it till I was satisfied I'd spit it out in the garbage!

WELL....I started to have dreams that I accidently SWALLOWED the food and got clogged!  I would rush to my surgeons office and be BUSTED!  I just knew he wouldn't believe me that I was only trying to taste it.............LOL  Those dreams ended once on solids........
