So I had my surgery on Thursday, 4days ago. As far as hunger goes I didn't have any issues untill today! No matter what I drink or eat (referring to soup) I feel hungry. I did mess up and ate a grilled chicken wing. I almost wish I vomited as punishment but I am fine. Who would have thought that eating one chicken wing can be so satisfying!

 

However, this whole experience is really making me realize that I have an extremely messed up relationship with food. I am full but just the habit of not being able to reach into the pantry or the fridge to grab a favorite snack whie watching a favorite show is messing with me. I can see I will have a tough time letting go of those habits. Anyone have any suggestions? I need help!!!!

 

PS. I bought this HeartMath software that is supports help you tune in those negative emotions into more relaxed thoughts not related to food. Once I start it I will let you know how it goes.

LAP-BAND Patients

Hi, My lapband surgery is today, so I'm not a bariatric expert but, I have the same problem and I found if I chew on a plastic drinking straw, it helped satisfy my oral fixation for awhile. Hope it helps.
