Omg, I am having dreams about cheating on my diet :(



Recommended Posts

So it's days 12 after surgery and lately I've been dreaming about food. Last night, I had a dream that my SIL came over and he bought a at least 10 different kind of chocolate cakes and I kept eating and eating and eating. Then I tell her omg I can't believe all the hard work I put into losing weight I just gained it back in seconds. I told her I wish she never came because I was doing so good. Before surgery, every time me and her hung out we made delicious food, got Snacks and watched movies. This freaked me out when I woke up because I thought I effed my baby pouch.. All good though, I didn't cheat haha :)

That was a nightmare for sure!!!!!!!!!

YESSSS, I miss my chocolate cake so very much.

This happened to me I wanted everything but knew I could really have nothing! It really messed with my mind.

If you subscribe to Freud, dreams are the royal road to the subconscious.

Be ever vigilant and aware in the coming weeks.

Lately I dream of Pasta when my blood sugar is too low. (I am diabetic.) Freud aside, our attachment to certain types of food takes time to break. Our bodies are going through addiction withdrawal. For you, chocolate cake. For me, pasta!

But we will succeed!

Ah the subconscious....

Your dream and ones like it seem normal to me...

Better to dream about it then do it

Ahhh the subconscious mind... Try not to focus on what you think you "can't" have.

There are a bunch of things you can have after being sleeved that will help with sweet cravings. Jello makes a sugar free double chocolate pudding that hits the spot for me. I debated weather the fat free was better, but the carb count on the sugar free works better for me. Check out theworldaccordingtoeggface.com and emilybites.com Tons of great recipes that you and your SIL can try next time. You may find some new favorites!

old joke> If you dream about a giant marshmallow don't eat it...it's your pillow! :D

I had an opposite dream last night. I looked down in my dream and it was an absolute straight shot to my feet....no belly, no loose skin, what I used to look at when I was a skinny kid.

Without big bucks for plastics...dreams do remain just dreams at times.

Thats funny , i think it very common. My co-worker and I discuss about our food dreams we were having. I had a dream i was swimming in cola and drinking it, eating mac and cheese and eating chocolate molten cake. Then i wake up and realize just my mind dreaming of my old desires.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
