Dreaming of food??

[mcczac 6]

Im 3 days post op and it seems like everytime I go to sleep, I have dreams of different food. For example I just took a short nap, and I had a dream that I was eating Cheez-it Crunch chips and Buffalo chicken Dip. Is anyone else like this or do I just like and miss food that much?

😆 yes - I've dreamt about eating the foods I love and which I can't eat any more!

I just told my hubby I wish Willy Wonka would have made a low carb high Protein all day chew that had a pizza changing to Big Mac changing to cheese cake hard candy!!!! LOL. My mouth just wants to chew some real food!!!! I see the Dr tomorrow for my two week check up and praying for regular food in a blender because I am tired of drinking my meals

I think as adult humans we just desire chewing our food. Remember pop rocks as a kid and the anticipation of the snap and pop in your mouth, there is just something about the feel of the food as well as the taste.

I did that a lot at the beginning, and I still dream about food from time to time. In my dream I'm always eating a huge amount of forbidden foods. I'm also aware that I shouldn't be and feel guilty about it. I'm quite relieved when I wake up and realize it wasn't true.

Oh that's funny. I guess I was dreaming of a chocolate buffet the other night. Hahaha.

I dream about it sometimes at 5.5 years out of surgery. I still dream about smoking sometimes, and I quit 26 years ago. I think addictions are sometimes like that...

Same with me. It doesn't happen anymore, but I used to have dreams of totally pigging out on pizza, ice cream, and eating a whole cake. I would feel terrible, guilty, and shamed. Then I would wake up and be soooooo relieved!

A few months back I dreamed of bread every night for over a week. I was seriously missing it. My nutritionist gave me the okay to add low carb bread into my diet, but it made me dump so bread makes me very wary now...
