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.

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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
