Recommended Posts

I'm newly sleeved 11/5.. I'm dreaming about food that I'm not even crazy about. ..When does it stop? How can I stop it?

That's pretty normal. I did it right after surgery and I had one just the other night (just about 5 months out). Sadly, I don't think there's a reliable way to control your dreams. Just be happy that your food urges are getting expressed and nourished in dreams and not in the physical world, I guess. ^_^

You're still on a liquid diet, right? I wasn't even hungry but wanted to chew food more than anything.

As soon as you realize you're uncomfortably stuffed on just a few bites of soft foods you'll find food isn't as exciting as you remember.

I had a dream the other night that I was at dinner with a bunch of friends and family and started drinking wine, knowing I shouldn't but essentially saying, "Forget it." I was really relieved when I woke up and realized it was a dream.

You may want to journal or read some sort of devotion, even meditate/ pray before you go to bed. We can prepare our minds for a restful sleep. Do your best to not watch food commercials before going to bed. If you're daydreaming....well you're fully in control of what you choose to focus on. I'm 6 weeks out this week and yesterday was a hungry day for me. I was hungry every hour it seemed. I made the best choices I could and I got through it. Take control and remember....what you focus on expands. Best wishes!

Has anyone experienced pain in throat to stomach when trying to eat pureed foods? I have a terrible burning feeling, and feels like elephants on my chest. Just after a few bites. Thanks!

Are you on a PPI like Prilosec or Nexium? Sounds like acid.

If you're not on one, you should be. If you are on one and it's Prevacid, that particular PPI is in a different category and doesn't work for a lot of folks. If you are on one and it's not working, call your doc.

And of course if you feel pain stop what you're doing. Pain and discomfort mean something isn't right - until you're sure what it is, you need to be careful.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
