Had a dream last night about eating and was freaked out in my dream. I didn't do anything about it cuz I woke up.

Yes I've experienced it. I just stick to my Doc's orders and don't cheat.

It was constant for me during the liquid phase, but became much better once I could add back solids.

Last night in my dream I was eating all kinds of horrible stuff and I was still only nine days out. It was a huge relief when I woke up!

I had a dream about a big juicy hamburger 3 days after post op and i dang near knocked a old lady over trying to get my burger then i woke up embarrassed and mad cuz i didnt get a bite

I would go to ShutterStock and watch their commercial clips of people eating food. For some reason watching someone eat and chew helped me out in the first weeks.

OMG, yes, I also had a dream about food when I was home recovering on liquid diet watching TV, which I never noticed how MANY food commercials there are! Seriously!

I stopped watching live TV and went with a movie or read or walked, out of sight out of mind. Hang in there, once you're on soft foods it's amazing how good stuff tastes and satisfies you, sugar free chocolate pudding was a go to for cravings.

I once dreamed about eating a whole pizza. I could only fit 2, max 3 slices of pizza BEFORE surgery! I was freaked out in the dream because I was aware I'd had surgery but I just kept eating! It was weird. But that was a while ago, and thankfully doesn't happen in real life

During pre op liquid phase I had dreams about hot dogs and bacon. At a weigh in the nurse suggested my body may be wanting some salt.
I'm 15 days post op and the first thing I wanted when in was cleared was Applesauce but I went for the mashed up tuna (protein first!)

Stick with what your doctor says. Try adding flavors to your shakes or some new soups. Do something to change up because I found it easy to get into a rut on liquids.

This is good to hear. I was just sleeved 3 days ago and frequently think of food.

I've been obsessed thinking about all the foods I can eat once I con co puréed. I am tired of liquid everything. Have you tried gum? That was my plan but since I'm constantly drinking I haven't wanted gum

I'm coming up on 1 week post op and I just need something to chew. Wednesday I can go up a level. Thank the lord. All I want is some eggs. I'm tired of the protein shakes. I'm tired of soup. Help lol

You've got this!!! Wednesday is less than 72 hours away. You can do anything for 72 hours! Heck, 24 of that will be sleeping... hang in there!!!

I am right there with you. My doctor wants me to be on a liquid diet for two full weeks.
