I had my surgery on 10/5 and the doc wants me on liquids until 10/19. I fix food for the kids or even if they fix and eat it I want it. I think this is what is called head hunger. How do you turn it off. It seems all i think about is food. Its all around and cant get away from it.

If I am on liquids can I add fruit to the shakes? Just looked at the and they look good. Oh and yes I am drinking Protein, broyh, sf Jello and sf popsicles.

Head hunger is a hard one. You have to find the best way for you. I just remind myself how I got here. I know I don't want to go back to tthe way I was, so I try to find something else to do or eat. It is hard when you are in liquids. But it does get easier. I don't think fruit is ok yet, but check with your Dr. Take a walk or exercise when the head hunger hits. Your nutritionist would be an excellent resource or search this forum. There are tons of ideas here. Good luck!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
