3 Weeks Away And Worried

[starsleeve 31]

My surgery date is scheduled for 4/27! I am soo worried that after the surgery my HEAD cravings wont go away!!! I know my issues with food are mental, but can people who have actually had the surgery tell me if those mental hunger issues go away afterwards or is it still a stuggle to mentally tell your self not to eat the unhealthy foods???

You will have cravings, but they lessen with time. I had them early on after surgery and that's when I realized how obsessed I was with food. It gets better. I still crave, but after I eat my Protein, I don't crave as much because I get full fast. You won't have a choice in the beginning with all the fluids that you will have to drink. Your stomach won't be able to handle much anyway. You are going to have to learn how to cope without eating what you want.
