Unexpected side effect.



Recommended Posts

food dreams. I dreamed last night I got super frustrated about something (I don't remember what) but I went and got a Subway sandwich and cooked 3 packages of Ramen noodles! I remembered after I dished it up that there was no way I was gonna eat that much so I put some

Of the broth and almost all of the noodles back. But I still say there and ate the entire sandwich!! Got to love crazy dreams.

I tend to have really vivid dreams when I'm doing something life changing. WIth the nicotine stuff, and quitting aids I've had some seriously amazing unconscious acid trips. Full surround sound, in color, even tactile sensation, some even lucid dreams.

One night I spent riding motorcycles through country lanes next to hedgerows in england and ridiculous rates of speed.

That was absolutely amazing.

And then you have a nightmare that's just as vivid.

On one hand it's really cool just what your brain can come up with. On the other it's really creepy to think about your subconscious talking to you through a door while it's in werewolf shape telling you how it's going to chew your intestines.

No food dreams for me. But when I quit smoking almost 3 years ago I started having smoking dreams and still occasionally have them. It's a guilt thing because when I wake up I always feel guilty and "so stupid" for giving in and smoking a cigarette and then it dawns on me that it was just a dream.

I've found I, not having the dreams, but I am compelled to click on all those Facebook videos of recipes and such, it's like food porn!

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
