dreams and guilt

OMG I woke up in a panic and feeling guilty !! I had a dream that I ate a hotdog with extra ketchup and onions. It was so real that when I woke up I was like OMG I hope I don't puke, or get it stuck ! UGH !!! I sure don't wanna be dreaming about food, but yet I do. I'm 5 days out now and I'm not even hungry. I have yet to get down more than 2 drinks of a protein shake and I've tried many different kinds and flavors. I'm pretty much living on unsweetened tea, water and skim milk. It's a long time before pureed foods for me. 

Those dreams are normal.  Once I was back to eating food again, they went away.

I think thise dreams are normal.  I dreamed I brought a box of fried chicken to my first post op exam.  Just as I took a big bite the nurse call me in.  I wokeI up afraid that I had really eaten it. It was so real.   When I realized it was only a dream I felt happy that I figured out a way to have fried chicken without really having it.  This is hard but we'll get thru. I love the dreams that I have when I have already lost the weight and I am able to move real fast!

Had those dreams for about the first 10 days too. I dreamed about eating the forbidden foods both without remorse and also waking and thinking I had eaten something detrimental. Just yesterday was the first time I actually did eat something on the forbidden list for me at 2 weeks out. I love salad. As I was preparing a Cesar Salad for company, sI put a huge leaf of romaine lettuce in my mouth to sample the dressing, and had to go running for a tissue quick. The crunch was the thing that jarred my brain. My Dr said no salad for 3-4 months.

Just curious, what ARE you eating 2 weeks out? Doc told me clear liquids and protein shakes for the first 2 weeks, then pureed foods. I just can't imagine what I could puree LOL   I can't handle the protein shakes and am living off of water, skim milk and unsweetened tea

Your favorite soups are a good thing to start with.

I posted a similar thing a few weeks ago and everyone assured me it was normal.  But boy did I wake up panicked!!

A few weeks ago, I dreamed that I'd made myself a big plate of pot roast; however, when I started to eat it, I realized that I couldn't eat that much any more, so I kept putting pieces of it back in the crock pot until I thought I was down to 4 oz!

I'm glad it's normal too. I had lasagna in my dream the other night!!
