4 days post-op from gastric bypass. So far everything is healing up well and I have been compliant with all dietary limitations. Every single night, my dreams have been extremely food oriented, more than I've ever experienced before? Is this common? Thus far I've dreamt about: chocolate covered cinnamon rolls, making and eating homemade biscuits, crinkle cut fries, and deep fried cod? These things were all within the context of other things going on in my dreams..but it's all very vivid. Fortunately I'm not driven to actually want that stuff. But I am very aware of the fact that my stomach is "meh" about food, but my brain still hasn't quite synced up. And I'm not taking painkillers or anything. Maybe it's all the artificial sugar in the protein shakes [emoji13]

I feel ya. I had a very long dream about a fried fish sandwich last night.

I had dreams about hot dogs and pizza, but only while I was still half zonked out on anesthesia after surgery. Maybe it wasn't the drugs... glad to know I'm not the only one!

I had a dream that i went into Mc D's for a hamburger and small fry. they accidentally gave me more food than I ordered. Yay! But, then I got locked inside. Hmm...I don't think it takes much to figure that one out.

You can check in, but never check out...

Every single night I'm dreaming about binge eating and acquiring food to binge on in all kinds of shady ways. Last night was the (long discontinued) Wendy's frescata sandwiches..Dug out of the very bottom of the trash. I need a lot of therapy still lmao

Now being 5 weeks out, the dreams have diminished but I still love watching food porn type stuff on Food network. I have to keep reminding myself that it's not realistic anymore to make random batches of baked goods unless I'm giving it all away.

Me too! I'm about 1 week post-op and have had very vivid dreams about food. Been on my liquid diet now for 3 weeks, so last night I even dreamt about steamed carrots (and I hate steamed carrots!). [emoji23]
