Tomorrow will be a week Post op. I feel the same way. I notice Decaf tea has helped me feel better. I have twin boys who are always hungry. Its been hard to provide meals to them and not be tempted. I had a rough day today because of it. I regret the surgery so much then it just goes away when i realize im 14 lbs down. Im happy but this is truly tough. Hang in there, you arent alone.
It's head hunger and you WILL get over it it just takes time! I use to feel the same way and just crave any and everything. When you start to lose more weight your head hunger will go away
Take a deep breath. Calm down. food isn't disappearing from your life forever, you will have many more healthier thanksgivings to come. Pretend it's next thanksgiving and you are wearing designer jeans and a great shirt - are you going to care about the food then? NO a big fat NO!!!!
Are you truly hungry? Or is just the sight and smell of food making you think you want food? Is your stomach gnawing - it could be acid reflux. Can you contact your bariatric team or your NUT? Do you have a support group that meets anywhere?
I like Isopure ready-made drinks - they are tart rather than sweet shakes, or Protein Water 20. Everyone's surgeon has a different program. Just follow the one you were given. You are healing and this part takes time. Go binge watch something on netflix when people are eating or take a walk, call a friend, get a pedicure, anything....paint by number
Hang in there.
