Today is day four post-op for me and I suddenly found myself hungry. It scared me at first but I realized as my family was eating dinner in the kitchen that it wasn't because I was 'hungry' but because I had not sat down to a meal and chewed food in almost two weeks. It was completely mental. I realized that it's like when you take something away and say you can never have it again and suddenly I want it even more. It was happening to me right then and there. A couple of sips of Water later I was 'full'. It's incredible the number of times food comes up via conversation, on tv, etc. that make me 'hungry' all of the sudden when I'm not hungry at all. The mental want and need to chew and taste is overwhelming and will take time for me to cope with. I'm trying sugar free gum ASAP. Anyone else find this happening to them?
