So now that my stomach isn't swollen anymore I can pretty much eat what I want when I want how much I want, but I know that I am not really hungry and it's all in my head (sure miss the swollen stomach times).

How do you deal with head hunger?

I usually go to sleep/nap and forget about eating...

any other good advise out there for head hunger?

I work 3rd shift in a 50,000 sq ft facility with a 8' hall way all around the outside and 5 laps is a mile. When I get bored and the head hunger kicks in I walk a mile. My BFF(best friend food) starts calling me from the vending machine I walk. You know that sound, Cheetos, Doritos, potatoe chips, Snickers, Hostess Fried Apple pies, King Dons... start calling my name, I walk. I have begun leaving my wallet and all my loose change locked in my truck outside! I know once I cross that invisiable line I am doomed so I walk. Usually 2 miles a night.

I try to keep busy. I will be back at work next week and that will help. I also find diet jelly (jello) helps for a short time. And i keep telling myself it is in my head and i am not really hungry.

I survived, well actually thrived on 2 shakes and a special band meal a day and nothing else for 4 weeks pre op so i can do this...

We can all do this!
