Stupid head hunger!!



Recommended Posts

I set aside a bedtime snack. My favorite is 1/4 cup pecans. Lots of Fiber and some good Protein. I also make sure I allow for it in my calories. Pork rinds are sorta high fat but no carbs and I use them cuz they fill me really fast and stop cravings. These are only if a tall bottle of Water doesn't work. I find that if I have a high carb snack of any kind it just makes me crave and I snack all night.

I'm struggling at work, with my morning coffee sitting at my computer I 'think' I need to be munching on something. I just feel the urge to snack. My toughest part of the day is the mornings. Even with a good Breakfast I never feel quite satisfied.

My surgeon told me to eat pickles whenever head hunger sets in. I've only done it twice but it works.

I don't think it takes away hunger, it just has almost zero calories and is a decent size so you eat it and it fills you.

I have found that drinking tea works with my 'boredom' eating but also sugar free mints and occasionally a glass of milk. Are you exercising at all? I find I have less head hunger when I have exercised and made my body tired.

      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.
