Struggle with hunger after waking

[justbeingme1972 27]

So pre-sleeve days whenever I would wake up, be it a 5 minute nap or 9 hour all nighter, I would wake up and eat mindlessly. It didn't matter what I ate, just so long as I could shovel something in my mouth. Also, often during the night I would wake and eat. It's now one week past my surgery and I'm struggling with waking and not heading straight to the kitchen. I wake and try to eat something that dissolves to a smooth paste, eat too much, start sliming or being miserable and uncomfortable. This is hard. I suspect you all know this.

No, I can't say this happens to me, nor has it ever. It sounds like the old demons that haunted you prior to your surgery are rearing their ugly heads again, and it is time to take action BEFORE all you have gone through (the surgery) is for nothing. I would suggest a psychologist who specializes in food issues. Everyone who has WLS has a different story to tell, a different experience to share. But this support site is here to bring us all together to assist each other when possible. Ain't it great?! I sincerely hope you can get a handle on this issue, let us know how you do, ok?
