Hi I had my surgery last Friday in Tijuana and all went well. I'm at home resting and return to my office job next week. I didn't think I was craving any foods or even hungry and then I started dreaming About some of my favorite foods! Did anyone else have this problem? This happened when I did Atkins phase 1 for part of my pre-op diet I dreamt about carbs but now it's happening again? Also my friends invited me out to the movie tomorrow night but the smell of popcorn is gonna be tough, when I did this on the pre-op I was more interested in the popcorn smell than I was the movie.... How do you handle this kinda stuff? Any advice?

Yes..the first two weeks I did have food dreams..I woke up in the morning thinking I had actual eaten the food. I don't have these foods dreams now., it was like for a couple of nights at the beginning.

As far as popcorn at the movies. That I used to love.. Bring a snack.. Like sugar free Jello pudding with a plastic spoon. That is how I handled that. At least u have something forward to eat.

Hopefully this helps...

I had a dream pre-op that I ate a HUGE ice cream sundae with hot fudge. I swear I actually tasted it. After eating it, I suddenly remembered it wasn't on my pre-op diet and was really upset with myself!

LOL! I was just talking about this with my diabetes specialist yesterday! When my blood sugar goes low while I am sleeping, I dream about linguine! So weird! When I am awake, I never crave Pasta, but I used to love it, so I guess my mind is playing tricks on me!

I've been wondering about the movies too. I think I will bring my Water and try to get through 32 oz. during the film. That would be an accomplishment!

Good luck!

I was talking about not craving sweets one day 3 months post op and that night I had a dream I was a cake baker and had convinced myself I had to sample each cake I made! I "tasted" each bite I took of all those cakes lol
