This head hunger is no joke!

I had my lap band revision to sleeve surgery March 11th and I'm so dying for real food!! Every single Friday night for the past 22 years we order pizza, and I've been ok with it, but today I'm really wanting to just lick a slice or something!! I hate these Protein Shakes and this full liquid diet!! Can't wait to eat some mushy food!!! UGH!! Why did I do this to myself????

Everyone misses real food in the beginning. Just stay positive! The fluids are only temporary. YOU are so worth it. Give it a few weeks and you will feel so much better that food becomes less of an importance as you learn to focus your attention on the people you normally ate pizza with. I had to do this with my family as well. It truly has been one of the best things i have ever done for myself. You can do this!

I've been going through the head hunger as well. The first two weeks I was just fine, then I just started week 3 and BAM my appetite is back and I am starting to feel hungry. My family still brings home fast food and cooks amazing meals. It is soo hard. I have to leave the room most times.

I know this is my old routine and habits trying to kick back in. I know damn well the food tasted amazing, but I always felt like absolute crap after I ate it. And the numbers on the scale kept going up and up. I MUCH prefer them going down.

It's going to be rough. No one said it was easy. Just take it one day at a time (or as I do, one HOUR at a time, lol) and we will get through this. It's all about taming those voices in our head that want us to fail.

The doctor put me on soft foods last Wednesday. He said I could have any kind of cheese I wanted. I scraped the cheese off of a piece of pizza and ate a 1/4 cups worth. I felt like I was eating pizza with everyone else. It was so good, I did not miss the crust.
