My head says I'm hungry but my tummy says no way....Cant get over this head hunger. I just ate a nice bowl of potato chowder and am in no way hungry but my head says eat something sweet, THIS IS WHAT MADE ME FAT to begin with!!! I hate this! I know that the band will do nothing to help me with head hunger and I dont know what to do about it.:thumbup:

I usually go out and walk (neighborhood, mall) it usually helps. If it is too late to get out, I will do a puzzle or something equally mindless anything but sit in front of the telly.:thumbup:

If you ever figure out how to fix head hunger let me know, I struggle with it everyday, my mind still tells me I haven't had enough when I have made myself sick eating. It is the worst thing ever and I know what you are going thru.

I used to say the band won't help with head hunger but I'm not sure that's true...at least in my case. After 9 months experience with the band, having too much fill and taking it down to try and find that sweet spot again, I think it does.

Seven weeks ago I got so sick of PBing, sliming and urping that I had them take me from 8cc down to 6cc. During that time I had no restriction whatsoever and, even though I was never hungry, felt like my stomach was this bottomless pit that needed to be constantly fed.

This morning they put 1cc back in and that 'emptiness' and head hunger vanished! I had a salad and Protein for lunch and I'm having a bowl of lentil Soup for dinner even though I really didn't feel the need to eat. The band is helping with the head hunger in my case because I don't even want to eat.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
