Food Dreams?
Oh my gosh, I can't believe I dreamed about eating tons and tons of wavy Lays potato chips. I can remember how crunchy and salty delicious they were...and even though in my dream, just for a moment I wondered how I could eat so many considering I was sleeved...I just kept on eating them! Yikes!

LOL! I have food dreams all the time! My surgery was 12/31, so I'm 3 weeks post-op today. I'm still in the full liquids phase, so I can totally relate to missing the crunchy, savory, and deliciousness of real food! I'm down 20 lbs as of today, so I guess these protein shakes and chicken broth are working their magic. I'll take it :)
We have Quest protein chips, they're ok enough...but they're NOT wavy Lays. Yes, the liquid phase wasn't great - but I accepted that weight loss too. Congratulations on your 20 pounds!

Oh no! No need to feel guilty about your dreams. I didn't feel guilty, I thought it was funny. I've had MUCH better dreams, if you know what I mean. :) Never expected food dreams though.

I know what you mean about that "real" feeling. I could taste the saltiness of those chips on my tongue!

Yea well, I just couldn't resist. I knew some folks would be able to relate. My husband had a good laugh. Only 6 hours away? We've seen shows on the Food Network -- some folks will travel a long, long way to have the food they love.
