its not to hunger pain its the endless ta pe in my head talking about food. When my band has the right fill it goes away. It seems once a week that tape is the worst. If ignoring worked I wouldn't have need the band

It does not happen to me as much now, but if I think I have head hunger I really do try to redirect my brain by doing something or go for a walk. I also try to drink Water and that often helps.

Sorry Line-dancer, but in the beginning right after surgery, when your restriction isn't enough and even head hunger, has to be ignored to succeed in WLS.IMHO

Great post Sharon! That's just how I've been doing it and it seems to be working. That's where our phrase "if you want it bad enough, you will do it".

God Bless Girlfriend!

i feel most people are mentally stronger then they think they are

all the inner demons we all face and the yo yo dieting, its no wonder we are scared to let the band work...why should it as everything else failed..

once we face it head on, my moment was the biggest number i ever weighed on a scale

that gave me the gumption to face it head on...no more crossing the street for me...i say bring it.

as for head hunger, its true......i realized it during pre op

all comes down to mind over matter...i want to get healthy bad enough to do whatever i have to make it happen...something i dibbed want power..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
