head hunger or physical???



Recommended Posts

Which is the hardest for you? Head hunger or physical hunger? For me I think it is head hunger!!! Sometimes, I have the nibbles and nothing I can do will take my mind off food. I can ignore my tummy growling for food though.

Even DH is watching me like a hawk. He caught me trying to nibble(on healthy stuff) and he could hardly yell at me because his mouth was full of peanuts!!! I just asked him if he was enjoying the peanuts.:eyebrows::faint:

Head hunger is the worst for me. It strikes when I am bored, or when I do something I used to always eat during; like playing on the computer... >.<

I can't eat in the morning due to my pills getting stuck though I have an Unjury shake. I get really, really hungry about 2 p.m. so I have Breakfast. I don't seem to have head hunger. I'm really hungry. So I eat breakfast at 2-3 p.m. and then dinner at about 6-7 and then I'm hungry about 3-4 hours later so I snack late at night. I eat nuts, cheese and Protein except for the ice cream cone I have every night. I love that ice cream cone. I don't care if it's fattening. But that may explain why I lost 40 pounds and stopped. I have weighed the same for a year--no further weight loss. I figure it cost me about $250 per pound so far. I'd really like to lose 10 more pounds so it will only have cost me $200. But on the bright side, I only take 1/2 of my diabetes pill now. If I take a whole one, my blood sugar drops too much. Things are better.

$82.98.

That's what my weight loss costs so far per pound. I hadn't figured it out in quite some time so I'm feeling a little better about $7800 at this point. :eek:

Cool. I paid $340.42 Cdn per pound. Worth every penny. :biggrin1:

Since I was just banded, I've been forcing fluids a little at a time--but today I noticed "being hungry" for the first time. My stomach was even growling. I ate half a cup of blended pea Soup and I actually "feel" restriction even though there shouldn't be any yet.

I licked a rice crispy treat and took a nice long whiff of it as my husband ate his "cookies" today. No harm done. It didn't make me want to eat the entire plate of treats. In fact, I felt pretty darn satisfied knowing I didn't want any. Neat trick, that!

Not necessarily a matter of should/shouldn't. Some people (I'm one of them) are able to acheive a good amount of restriction with the band itself. In other words, it causes enough restriction to start getting the job done, deflated.

Hence my first PB was 3 days post op. :faint:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
