Head hunger

[busymommy 12]

I am crazy hungry in my head. My mouth waters at the smell of food and I keep thinking of all the good things to eat but my stomach says " not interested". How do I get past this head hunger?

Hi

Early post op I felt like that.Had to learn to distract myself.Cooking programs on the tv didnt do that..lol

I have also learnt the great value of 10 cal sugarfree popcicles.Some nights I would have 5 in the first couple of months.

Now, I get it and I say whatever to my head as I really like my slimmer body way to much to give in to the head.

Find something to keep your hands busy.Do exercise.Walk,drink tea or CL.

Good luck and it does get better!

I'm always feeling that way! I can't eat much so thank God for that or I'd be 400 lbs again.

Seems like a ton of people have trouble with this. I went out of my mind. I remember that second week licking the flavoring off of wheat thins. I don't suggest anyone try that, but it was good. But I do remember as soon as I was able to have soft foods at 2 weeks, it got much better. I had scrambled eggs and those were the best damn eggs in the history of poultry.

It does get so much easier after you begin to eat again. My doc let me have grits on my full liquid phase....and cream of wheat. That may help with the head hunger because its kinda like eating food, it will fulfill that need. Just as long as you're getting in your Water and Protein first, otherwise you don't want to waste valuable sleeve room on grits.
