Night pains and food nightmares

For me, the past few nights have been kinda weird.

The first night I was like ok....whatever. But then it happended again last night.

About 4ish or so in the morning, I wake up slightly, enough just to see the time and fall back asleep.

Durning this sleep I dream ...or really have nightmares about eating solid food. I'm currently on the 2 weeks liquids phase. I'm eating fried chicken drumsticks and just can't seem to get full. The dream is sooo real, I acutally believe that I'm eating this.

And then the pain...the pain is so bad...not sure how I sleep through it. But my tummy just hurts like crazy. Very sharp pains from the incision area and churning in my stomach.

Crazy I say!

Its possible that you are really having these pains while sleeping but in your dream you are thinking you are having them because you are eating.

Often I dream I am having back pains because I fall or something like that then I wake up and the whole time I was really having very bad pains in my back. Weird.. I know lol.

But then again, if you wake up and aren't having any pain it may really all just be a dream.

When someone is on drugs and they are going through withdrawal they will have dreams they are using. Vivid dreams and they can actually "feel" the drugs. They can wake up feeling as if they have had a hard night of partying.

I wonder if you are having the same effect with food. Your body might even be trying to digest this fake food.

Or perhaps your just really hungry. Maybe you should call your Dr. and tell them, especially about the pain. He might have had a patient that has had these experiences, or he could tell you something productive.

Either way, I'm sorry you are experiencing these things.
