Dreams

[wendybyrd83 3]

I tried to find other conversations about having dreams post op but didn't find anything. Has anyone else been having crazy dreams? I am about 4.5 weeks post op and have had several dreams where my incisions have burst open, leaving me bleeding out or even had one where my small intestines were shooting out of my incision that opened! I wonder if this is normal??

I started a dream thread over in the self pay forum. I had all kinds of wacky dreams in my first month post op, but now they've been less frequent.

I did have wacky dreams, but I honestly can't remember now what they were. The first few days, I think my crazy dreams were anesthesia induced. I still get crazy dreams regarding my surgery here and there, but they're always some kind of nightmare where I have eaten something completely off my plan and absolutely horrible for my sleeve, and then I start to panic about what to do. It actually takes me a few minutes after I wake up to realize I didn't do that and that I can let go of the feeling.

I'm embarrassed to say but I had 2 dreams 2 nights in a row revolve around...doughnuts! Soooo strange. I rarely ate doughnuts pre sleeve so it's odd that that's the food I'd dream about.

I'm 4 weeks out and had a dream last night that I ate an entire big fat juicy hamburger!

I think I started a thread like this too when I was newly sleeved. It's very common and I think it might have something to do with hormones just like when you're pregnant, you have crazy dreams too. The only dream I can remember because it was so scary was that there was a zombie apocalypse! Haha!
