afitlife4me 5 Posted June 26, 2013 I'm 1 week, 2 days past surgery and I guess I thought the surgery would magically fix my head! Needless to say, it has not worked out that way. I still want to binge on food all the time. I miss the taste of it. Friday I'm going to be moved to the mushy stage and tonight we made brown sugar meatloaf and velveeta shells and cheese (faves) so I decided I would try some since I was only a day out anyway. I did really great and tried to stop when I was full, before I got uncomfortable but still feel u satisfied because my head is telling me that's not enough food. How do you make a nice little plate for yourself of 1/4 c of food and not think you need more on there? Any tips or tricks for fighting the head hunger? I know I need to quiet this food addicted beast inside me before my sleeve can accommodate more foods so that I can stay fit and healthy for life and never travel this road again but I don't know how to make that little **** shut the hell up!!

Linkinchik 40 Posted June 27, 2013 I know exactly what you mean! I'm 9 days post op too and I find myself making more food than I can finish because after 6-8 spoons (with breaks in-between) I feel stuffed and I even get nauseous if I try to eat more. I've started making smaller portions because I tell myself there's no need wasting the food, which is what happens. It gets easier once you consciously think of how little food you're really going to eat, and how much time, effort and $$ you'll save yourself when you don't give in to the head hunger. It's hard but you got this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belladona 153 Posted June 27, 2013 My answer is the dog . When I feel the pang to stop I immediately stop eating walk over to my gavon dogs bowl who will eat 24/7 , and dump my food in his dish, there problem solved . I cant force myself to eat the rest and hes more than happy to help me out. lol Good luck to you. 2 court2180 and solymarmivida reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
