I was sleeved on January 14 the and I also found/find it a constant struggle with the head hunger. There are some days that I will go for three or four walks around the block just to make sure I stop eating or don't Overeater. I read the posts a lot here to help me as well. I don't have the answer but I wanted to let you know you're far from alone.

Maybe go back to drinking couple shakes a day, one pureed meal and a snack. Watch carb and fat intake. I advanced my diet too fast b/c I was doing well then members on here scared me and said it was way too soon so I have scaled back on soft diet and drinking just Protein Shakes... I had some yogurt as my snack. Make sure to get in your Water too.

I would suggest a therapist. They can help work through this with you, and get to the root. I see one twice a month and have found it to be very helpful on my journey. You can Google one who specializes in obesity.

Good luck.

I really appreciate u taking the time. I stooped coming here after I posted needing help and all I got was negativity from ppl. Judgemental ppl should not post on here. I was so fragile and I took what these ppl said to heart. Then I realized that they dont know me.. they dont know my situation.

Anyways. Walking sounds great. I havent been able to take my normal "head" meds for about 2 weeks now so thats really messin with me too. The powder get stuck and I throw up.

I guess I will try again tomorrow. Thats a new day right

are you putting powder in the blender? I blend it really good.. like at least a minute. I can't stand any grittiness. I am sorry I thought you were only a few weeks out. What do you typically eat on a daily basis? Maybe start food journaling and see your nutritionist. Has to be a reason for it and I am sure you will figure it out. What up with your 'head meds'? Most of those cannot be stopped abruptly. I hope your prescriber is aware, I would hope for you to have any bad withdrawal symptoms. I work in psych so if you want to inbox me feel free. I am sorry ppl have been negative... sometimes people lack tact... I sometimes have that problem too. You have to learn to ignore and when you do learn please share your secret with me ;)

      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.
