Food Dreams

So I'm on day 10 of Optifast and last night I had an extremely vivid dream about eating all my fav foods and even ones that I don't like that much that are just bad for me. And I dreamt that I had eaten it all while unconscious in my dream.. so like a dream within a dream. But I woke up in my dream and I was so anxiety ridden that I had screwed everything up and I wouldn't be allowed to get the surgery. Then all day I missed food more than I had this whole time doing optifast. I've had these food dreams before.. they are kinda awful. I feel a little crazy for having them.

 Oh no, don't feel crazy at all, that is why we are on this site, we do not have a normal relationship with food. I'm about to start day 13 of Opti and I have surgery on Monday !!!! and I've had food dreams, filling up my car at the McDonald's drive thru and I drive an SVU! and I mean it was full. I just drove away and left them my VISA card LOL. I think it is our way of feeling our anxiety and it is very normal. You are so close now and it will be so worth it! 
Tomorrow is another day and you are then one step closer.
Good night!

I had crazy dreams on Opti, but since surgery, I have dreams where I was peeling juicy carrots and watermelon.  But I am not hungry when I wake up, so who knows what it means!!!

I just looked up dream interpretations of carrots:

To dream of carrots, portends prosperity and health For a young woman to eat them, denotes that she will contract an early marriage and be the mother of several hardy children.

(I totally thought it was going to be a phallic thing!)

LOL!  I am 31, not married, and obviously won't be having kids for at least 18 months. 

 

 `I had those dreams too!  I think they are pretty common when you're gearing up for surgery!

All the best to you!

LMAO...I have had the SAME dreams. I have dreamed I was at my sisters place eating of all things peanuts and then realizing, OMG I'm on optifast what am I doing, I've screwed it all up. Then I wake up and I'm up for over 30 mins trying to get back to sleep.

Funny you should mention that. I am 3 months out and had a dream I was eating undercooked bacon!! I love bacon very crisp but this one had all the rubber fat! Thank God  I woke up from that nightmare!  

LOL! I love hearing everyones crazy food dreams :D thanks guys. I don't feel as strange now~ XD
