My head says I'm hungry but my tummy says no way....Cant get over this head hunger. I just ate a nice bowl of potato chowder and am in no way hungry but my head says eat something sweet, THIS IS WHAT MADE ME FAT to begin with!!! I hate this! I know that the band will do nothing to help me with head hunger and I dont know what to do about it.:thumbup:

I usually go out and walk (neighborhood, mall) it usually helps. If it is too late to get out, I will do a puzzle or something equally mindless anything but sit in front of the telly.:thumbup:

If you ever figure out how to fix head hunger let me know, I struggle with it everyday, my mind still tells me I haven't had enough when I have made myself sick eating. It is the worst thing ever and I know what you are going thru.

I used to say the band won't help with head hunger but I'm not sure that's true...at least in my case. After 9 months experience with the band, having too much fill and taking it down to try and find that sweet spot again, I think it does.

Seven weeks ago I got so sick of PBing, sliming and urping that I had them take me from 8cc down to 6cc. During that time I had no restriction whatsoever and, even though I was never hungry, felt like my stomach was this bottomless pit that needed to be constantly fed.

This morning they put 1cc back in and that 'emptiness' and head hunger vanished! I had a salad and Protein for lunch and I'm having a bowl of lentil Soup for dinner even though I really didn't feel the need to eat. The band is helping with the head hunger in my case because I don't even want to eat.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
