I am having weird dreams where I am eating and all of a sudden it hits me that I'm not suppose to so I spit it all out. I was wondering if anyone else is having dreams like these or any different ones since their surgery?

I had those dreams right after surgery- only I didn't spit it out. I did wake up with my heart pounding, though, thanking God it was just a dream!

I just had one of those dreams (just woke up from a nap) and my surgery is a week from today. I am not sure if it's because I've been on the pre-op diet faithfully for a week and I'm subconsciously missing food or if it's pre-surgery anxiety. I didn't spit the food out in my dream and, in fact, I kept eating more. The part of my brain that was trying to wake up was horrified, but I was incredibly calm about it in my dream (although I did have a thought that I had basically undone a lot of hard work). Now that I am awake, I would classify this as a nightmare!

I had a dream like that a couple of days after surgery. I dreamt that I had eaten a huge meal and lots of soda. I woke up in a panic thinking I had really eaten all that....and hurt myself in the process. I was still on the liquid pain medicine so I was having all kinds of long, weird dreams.
