I do agree with the distinction between tummy hunger and head hunger.

Yesterday I was walking through a large parking lot. On the edge of the parking lot was a Kentucky Fried chicken - the wind was coming right at me.... the aroma of Nature's most perfect food - fried chicken - was all embracing. I closed my eyes and took in the sweet aroma of the forbidden delicacy.... I saw angels... but they had chicken wings, and little baskets with rolls and gravy... I am pretty sure I passed out.

Da^^%, head hunger.

:lol: This made me laugh so hard.

I am 2 1/2 weeks out and have felt no "hunger." I do feel empty when it's time to eat, but it's not really hunger per se. I have had bouts of head hunger and I totally knew it was because I wanted really naughty, naughty foods.

Once I started thick to solids I don't get that hungry. I have some head hunger in the evenings, but that is just habit.

Just throwing in my two cents worth. I haven't felt true hunger since the morning BEFORE surgery. I have not been hungry since I woke up. Right now, I'm using my son's internal clock to know it is time to eat. I figure I will have to set alarms when I go back to work. I just hope this feeling lasts. :)

I rarely feel hungry- I eat normally because it has been several hours since I last did and it is a necessity more though than a want... I love/hate it...

Yesturday I was taking care of some legal matters with family and wasn't able to eat. I did not get hungry and was drinking my Water. But when I got home, I wasn't really hungry but once I ate some peanuts and stuff, my head hunger got really bad. The head hunger is really an enemy of mine. I'm always working on this. I have been doing a lot of mindless eating too. :wacko:

      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.
