All you really can do is wait it out. My head hunger and craving were killing me in the begining. I told my Family to go on like normal, and trust me, smelling bacon cooking in the morning was almost as painful to me as being punched in the face. Smelling my Mom's dinner made me wish I could have just one bite. I wanted meat SO bad. I think I was 4 weeks out or so and I couldnt take it anymore. I took a piece of steak, chewed it up, enjoye all the flavor, and spit it out. It helped. I was able to last if I allowed myself a "taste" here and there.

It gets easier, it gets better. I promise.

Hang in there <3

I still get the head hunger, some days it can be bad, others its not. I think if you had food issues there will always be head hunger.

      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.
