Lauren610 2 Posted December 24, 2012 Tips/tricks to help when you aren't physically but mentally hungry? My surgeon has me on liquids for 2, purée for 2 and soft for 2. I am literally dreaming about the purée phase just for the different flavors of food ill be able to enjoy. Is everyone on the same 2-2-2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oliver's Mom 258 Posted December 24, 2012 I was liquid for 1, pureed for 2 and today I start my soft for 4!!! I like TerryG's idea about the popsicles. I might have to run out today and get some. I've found that when I have head hunger, if I do something like fold some laundry, call a friend to just chat, go for a walk, play with my dogs, even do Words with Friends, it passes. Also I keep Water or herbal tea with me and if I sip, sip sip I feel full and the hungry thoughts goes away. Good luck - just keep thinking it is all a process and take it a day at a time. We're learning new things, new skills , new ways of 'feeding ourselves' and not just with food.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
