hungry!

[nicolebishop91 25]

So I'm a week out today. And I can't ignore the feeling of wanting to put food in my mouth and chew I feel like I'm hungry, but I know I'm not. And tips on how to over come this evil?

Drink drink drink. Try to keep something in your pouch so u can get ur mind off food. It's head hunger. U will probably get really sick if u try to eat something, not worth it.

Oh I would never try to eat something this early. No way do I want to feel sick. I am just no longer going to watch cable. There are so many food ads its insane! I ate a popsicle. Thank you Kiwiladydee, it helped sooo much.

I am also 7 days post opt and I been craving and wanting to eat everything I see and I am so moody but I know Nd won't dare to put nothing else other than broth Jello tea n it sick so much I can't wait till Thursday when I go n see my surgeon to see if she advances me to purée foods at least there is some variety of foods there , it gets boring n disgusting eating same thing all day everyday ughh (the good thing is that when I come to this group and I start reading I feel better :-) and that makes me happy ) ( also I been feeling tired and tired but I drink all my meds and idk why I feel so drained out even when I go out for walks)

So I tried to relate a similar concern in another thread...I get hungry and don't get 'full'. I'm 8 days out and allowed to eat yogurt. I can eat about a half a cup (4 oz. is most I'm willing to try at this point). Does anyone know if we really will feel 'full' when we get to more/solid foods?

I didn't feel full but I would just stop so I wouldn't get sick since I had no idea how my body would react ....Popsicles and injury Protein in my drinks was my savior

Do you (or any 'long termer') get full after the initial phase?

I am also going Thursday to my Doctors office. And I feel like I am doing a dance just waiting, like you do when you have to pee. lol I am just so happy that I am not the only one who is struggling with this, so I know that I dont just have a weak sence of will.

I have found that when I feel hugry I will drink my shakes or broth what ever it is at the time, I drink slowly. a drink every few minutes. Once I no longer feel hungry I stop. That seems to be working for me. I sip my Water all day. I very rarely set it down so I don't forget to keep drinking.

My "full" feeling is very do feeling is very different post surgery. It is higher up and concentrated in a small area just below my sternum. It is worse than uncomfortable and I have only been there a couple of times .... One of which I got very sick.
