I am having terrible dreams where I endager my sleeve be eating heavy rich meals and then feel horrible while I wait to see if my insides rip apart...it is really freaking me out.  I wake up all scared and nervous.  I am weaning off meds, moving a little (tiny) through the lower bowls and having slight nausea.  I am also exhausted.  Other than that I feel pretty good.  But the slight nausea and dreams are freaking me out...normal??indecision

I had crazy freaky food dreams the first week or two.  So glad those are over!  And I still have horrible nausea 4 weeks out.  Hope you feel better soon!

I've definitely been having the dreams, just like yours. I don't have nausea, but I'm very wiped out today at five days post op, plus I'm so depressed I don't even want to chat with anyone for support.

i know it's tough right now, but I think we both have to give it a bit more time.

Maybe walk a bit more and see if that helps with the nausea?

Why are you depressed?  I am panic-y.  I keep thinking there is something wrong, I feel like my throat is closing, chest pains like espohogeal spasms, Letting my mind run away with my reasons.  I realize these are all irrational, but I cannot stop thinking it, and the "what the hell did I do, FOREVER".  Just a little strange....

 

So why are you depressed, what are your concerns?

Alive a, my doctor prescribed a few meds for aftercare, which I haven't had to use. Did you get some post op prescrips? I got hydro codons for pain, lorazepam for nausea and spams, and Reglan for nausea and anxiety. Sounds like at least some lorazepam could help you? Would you be able to ask for it?

Im not entirely sure why I'm depressed. I think the end of the year does it to me. Plus, I got laid off and am still looking for a permanent job and contracting while instill don't feel like myself, and I guess I feel lonely. I do think I will get over it, but it feels tough right now.

Thanks for asking; it helps me figure it out a little better.

Now, get some meds! There's no need to suffer needlessly!

I had some freaky food dreams before surgery.  When I lost weight on Atkins, I also sometimes had weird food dreams -- all related to eating loads of things that I shouldn't have.  I also read somewhere a long time ago, that people who volunteered for medical tests on very low calorie diets also dreamed about food.

So, as weird as it is, it seems to be the norm!

I am so glad I'm not alone!!  For the first month after surgery (maybe??****pt dreaming about food.  Pizza, cookies, cake...everything I could NOT have.  And, I'd wake up feeling horrible.  Luckily, those dreams have subsided.
