I had surgery on the 7th of November. I did a ton of Protein shakes pre-op as meal replacements so those are going well. I've just been advanced to full liquids/puréed and that's harder I find, because every time I cook for my kids I get this head hunger. My brain tells me I should be eating but if I try to taste on their food or snack quickly, I pay for it by landing in the fetal position in PAIN. Anyone else struggling with this these head hunger games? SW: 260. CW: 235.9 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi @@AweLauren -- I am also a newbie here -- I just had surgery on 11/7. I am already down 24 pounds which is wicked scary for me to see if all flying off so fast. I have been just really taking things slow with myself and being patient. My biggest obstacle is making wise choices since I have been advanced to the pureed stage of things. This makes it tricky, because I get a little hungrier than just being on the Protein shakes and I am also exercising 4 times per week. However, I have quickly learned to try to ignore HEAD HUNGER where you brain tells you to eat because heck, you should and it's what you are used to doing. I have 2 little ones and cooking for them is sometimes stressful because I am used to tasting their foods. Had to quit that also. What has helped me the most aside from joining this forum a few days ago -- is JOURNALING my feelings about food, my emotions, and the times I tried to indulge in something I shouldn't have only to be found laying in the fetal position in PURE pain. I'd love to hear from anyone else who may be further along -- or just hear about what you have experienced as well? When was your surgery? THart
