I want chicken and shrimp from the Chinese grilled ..... What ya think about me eating that?

I don't think you should, personally.

Maybe something a little less harsh on your new stomach. Whenever I think about seriiously eating, I ask myself if its head-hunger or is there an emotional tie, or if its just the memory of food leaving my system.

I also remember how my surgeon told me that he had someone go to a chinese buffet after surgery; her new sleeve didn't hold, cause she wasn't supposed to be on solids, and her stomach burst. She was in the hospital for 6 months, cause there was no way to surgically repair it...that keeps me from eating A LOT of things.

Depends on your doctors orders. I would Follow the rules for your safety. My doctor had me on solids week 3. I had to chew really well. Might only be able to get in one shrimp. It was a bit frustrating but I got through it and you will too. Good luck.

Sometimes I think it is my mind playing with me that makes me feel like I'm always hungry it's hard for me.

No problem. I am 7 mos in and I don't do Chinese much anymore. I eat according to what feels good and rice and pastas fill me up too quickly. If I have Chinese I have teriyaki chicken, no rice. I tried after a few months and it made me sick so I just recently tried it again and it was ok. Head hunger is the worse but it gets better. It gets to a point where you recognize the difference.

I totally agree with almost there, it does get better and you may just be experiencing head hunger. Hang in there and know it gets better!
