What do you do to satisfy your "head hunger"?



Recommended Posts

I know that the best advice is to do something to occupy yourself, so when you get in "munchie mode" when your not hungry what do you do?

Sex (preferably with a partner)

Haaaaaaaa just kidding..... I keep myself busy with the computer or my DD. I'll get up and clean something.

I have a glass of ice cold Water, it not only makes my band too tight to actually eat any junk food but sometimes it fools my body into beliving that I have snacked. ~Mandy

When I get it and it's not that bad I just try and do something to take my mind off of it. If my mind wont stray like I want it too I make a pot of coffee and suck it down. (My doctor has no issues with coffee).

I try to distract myself. If that doesn't work, I drink Water. If that doesn't work, I figure I better have a little of it. Otherwise, I'll do some other crazy thing like eat way too much the next time I eat or something...I'm weird.

I drown it with coffee too if it really wont go away, otherwise I just go and do something else, shopping being a fave, lol.

Interestingly I've had very little head hunger since banding becuase I'm just so "not hungry" all the time. I've had one or two very tiny pieces of chocolate when it's going round because I wanted to and the Christmas cake is still calling me from the pantry but I really havent suffered from it like I used to.

If I really get a craving for something though, I would have it have it - but I havent had that since banding. Whatever works for each of us but for me carrot sticks just cannot be substituted for chocolate!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
