Head hunger

[mcraven83 22]

Ok. So I know many of us have talked about head hunger. I think I am experiencing my head hunger at night when I am bored. I used to snack late at night and I find myself hungry again at these times.

What are you doing to help with head hunger?

Drink something low/no calorie (Water, sugar free drink mix).

Find something to do to distract yourself until you aren't thinking of food. I've gone through my clothes, sorted closets, organized holiday decorations and culled stuff into "keep" and "donate" piles, play a game, read, go for a walk (or do yoga), clean the bathroom...

I allow myself to eat dry chicken breast and broccoli. If I don't actually want dry chicken breast and broccoli, I am not really hungry. If I do want it, I eat it, and there isn't much damage you can do to your daily calorie or carb intake with these two items.

I'm struggling with this as well. I'm only 6 days post surgery, and I haven't yet felt that full sensation or any pain. All I can think about is eating real food. Help, please!

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids. At 6 days post-op I was still trying to get it all in to the point that I would take a Protein Shake and Water to bed with me. I wouldn't turn out my lights to go to sleep until I had met my goal.
