Hunger

[broncofan 1]

How can you tell if my hunger is in my head?? I had gastric bypass on 09/23 and I have to say everything sounds good,I have been on liquids for almost two weeks. And I can drink 8 ounces Of Protein pretty fast. not on purpose.., just out of habit.

First of all, sllooooowww down! Try putting your shake in a toddler's sippy cup, any bottle that will slow you down. Don't let that pouch stretch out. The hunger signals is a hard part of this process. I am learning to really pay attention to my body - not my brain - and read the signals it is giving me. Is your stomach grumbling? Or are you dizzy, light-headed? Those are hunger signals. Thinking about food isn't hungry, it's craving. At 2 weeks of liquid, everything DOES sound good. But I was afraid enough of being sick that I was able to resist. Try hard to obey the Drs orders, he knows what your body can handle and when.

Thanks for answering Amy,

I am dizzy and light headed most of the time, just curious how come everyone says their not feeling hungry..kinda worries me that my surgery didn't work.
