I would also like to add that you will feel hunger in your tummy if you have too much acid. You need to take an acid blocker like prevacid or zantac once a day for a few weeks, especially right after surgery. This is where some folks hunger comes from.. too much acid. Some if it is head hunger. Are you bored? Sometimes when I am bored, I tend to have that "never get full" thing and am always looking for something to snack on or eat. I had to really work on that after surgery. I am almost two years out and have been at goal for almost a year. Try drinking some water when you think you need to eat and cut back on the carbs. They make you crave more. Find something to do to keep your mind and hands busy. That should help with it. If you are busy, time will pass and you will realize you were not truly hungry. HTH Tammi

Yay! So happy for you! Keep up the good work!

Well, my opinion on it is this... you are looking at it like you deserve to have it. Its what got you where you dont want to be so I think that is a poor choice of words.. You deserve to be happy and healthy and a slurpee is not on that path. Its not healthy, its pure sugar. You dont "deserve" unhealthy stuff. Your body deserves so much better than a slurpee. There is no real need for a food funeral. You will be able to enjoy things again in MOderation. You will get to have some slurpee here and there again so dont look at it with such finality. After you are sleeved, slurpees wont be that important anymore anyway and a few sips of one will be enough to satisfy. I would wait until then. JMHO
