I'm 4 days post op, and so far everything has been much better then my mind thought it up to be. The only surprise really is the battle between my mind and my stomach! It only happens when I smell food. My mind automatically says "you want that! You're hungry!" And my stomach says "nope! You're NOT hungry. I'm stuffed on Protein and other liquids!!" It's quite a difference. Before, if my brain said I was hungry, my stomach "made room" to eat what I was craving, or wanted. It's weird that I don't know what to do with these thoughts. Any suggestions?

I've been having the same struggle, I'm trying to get my mind to listen to my body. I may feel full but my head tells me it wants more z:-/ I'm hoping that with time my mind and stomach will get in sync

Once I was able to eat soft foods, head hunger was not as bad. I'm actually pretty much turned off by the thought of eating... It's not as pleasant because I am still learning when my stomach is full, and it usually comes quick!! So, food, at this stage, makes me pretty miserable.
