Sleep eating during pre-op



Recommended Posts

So here I am again asking for advice....

I haven't slept walked for years..

I'm half way through my pre OP diet still have about 18 days to go.

I've been doing really well lately. Got over the hump...so I had thought.

Then it turns out last night I slept walked made my self a Peanut Butter sandwich. Ate it all except the crusts (which is odd I love the crusts) 😞

I've put baby locks on the pantry tonight. I don't really know what else to do.

I'm sorry, I had to smile big. I sleep walk, too. Haven't done it for years, but had done it since childhood.

The fact that your poor mind is so hungry, it's rebelling, idk I find it a little endearing! But do not despair, in my experience the baby locks should work. I used to sleepwalk and go around the house opening doors, but if a door was locked(even if the key was in it), I would move on after a couple times trying the handle.

I would suggest you put those baby locks on fridge too if possible, until your brain catches up to your new lifestyle. Or better yet, get rid of the bread, If you live alone. If you only keep healthy food in the house, even if you slip, you'd still be ok.

Best of luck you on your journey, and remember "One day at a time"!

I used sleep eat walk alot years ago

Try having your shake before bed so you dont go to sleep hungry. That seemed to be my issue, going to sleep hungry. Are you having all th reuired shakes and anything else you are allowed to have in the day?

Also, are you having your 3 litres of Water a day? When you are in the shakes phase your body gets extra thirsty due to ketosis so maybe your mind is confusing thirst for hunger?

Dont beat yourself up, you are doing your best just try gwt to bed a bit early and get so.e quality sleep with a full tummy of shakes. All the best with it!

I never thought of that lol I put baby locks on the pantry and fridge last night.
Didn't find any random bread crusts today so hopefully a good start lol

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
