Yes, I've had dreams about binging and eating pizza... I had one dream that I was going to Little Caesars for dinner and I woke up thinking for a second, that sounds good, I'm going to get some breadsticks for dinner.. Then I thought, Oh wait, I can't do that anymore. lol... Better to binge in our dreams then in real life!! lol

No eating bad dreams, just bad ones in general. Like when i was pregnant 24yrs ago. I try to go back to sleep to just finish dreaming where I left off. If it's not the over-active dreams then I’m dealing with insomnia. I wish I didn't dream at all. But food is on my mind and unfortunately at work my office is across from the lunch room. It's a constant parade of people coming in for coffee, Breakfast, lunch or snacking all day. I'm not hungry but hear people munching on food I can't eat is kinda annoying.

I just think about why I had surgery and the finish line.

I think it's natural to have these dreams. For years after quitting smoking, I would dream that I bummed a smoke from someone, then immediately smoked a second cigarette. That's when I'd wake up in a sweat, terrified that I was hooked again. I'm sure food dreams are much the same. In both cases we dream that we're back to being addicted. They fade eventually. Good luck and sweet(ner) dreams!

I had the eating dreams frequently when I was on pre op liquids. After surgery I've just had a few bad dreams but never about food. Odd!

EEk EEk EEK EEK! ATTACK OF THE KILLER PIZZA!!! lol.

I had a dream that I was in the back of the grocery store. The whole back wall was filled with all kinds of pastries and breads you could think of. From the ceiling to the floor it was filled with goodies. It was hard for me to choose and of course I needed a ladder to get the chocolate filled donuts. I dream of food and think about it during the day all the time. SMH. Its a mind trip.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
