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:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
