You might be hungry. Are you able to have a snack closer to bedtime?

Yes, something like that. Maybe just some warm milk?

I used to dream that I ate something I wasn't supposed to. This was right after my surgery and I was still on liquids. It would seem so real but then I would wake up and be relieved that it was only a dream.

@@mixhelle, no food dreams here and certainly not given to dream interpretation. Those guys have been out of fashion for eons.

I'm curious: You dream of food and wake with your stomach hurting. When you wake, are the pillows still on the bed?

I dreamed of eating juicy burgers while on my pre-op diet.

Last night, 6 weeks post op, I dreamed of being chased and stalked by Michael Myers. I hid in a dryer. :o

Been having more nightmares since losing weight.

I'm on pre-op now and have had dreams of eating food. It was so real. I woke up mad because I just knew I blew my chance at surgery. Then I realized it was dream. I have 5 more days to go to surgery!

For the first week post op I dreamt of Going through drive throughs in weird apocalyptic scenarios also one dream involved me playing on a 25 cent claw machine and ending up getting a pizza. lol I'm actually into dream interpretation I believe our subconscious has much to say when we aren't in a wakeful state. Now the first bout of dreams seemed pretty clear cut I think I personally was coming to terms with the fact that those days were over and it was an apocalypse in a sense. As for the pizza in the claw machine, I don't know lol. Your mind is so much more powerful then you know. Your tummy hurting is probably caused by your brain tricking you into these intense bouts of hunger or cravings. It'll pass as you become adjusted to the reality of your situation and say your "goodbyes" to your old ways of thinking.

I'm nearing the end of liquid stage and I definitely am having these dreams too. For me, they're anxiety dreams. It's always "oh shit, what did I do?" when I wake up. They're not happy; they're nightmares in which I mess up, eating turkey or brussels sprouts or something that causes me sickness when I swallow...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
