Have You Ever Know Someone Who was so Aggravating, and Annoying, and You Sometimes Have to Cross the Street to Pretend that You Don't See Them, or Just Ignore Them All Together!

Well That's Just What You Have To Do With Hunger!!

Ignore It, and Pretend Those Aggravating Pains Done Even Exist!! It Keeps You Stronger and Sane!!

Love You!! Happy Sunday!! (Sharon)

Great analogy and advise . Thank you!

its not to hunger pain its the endless ta pe in my head talking about food. When my band has the right fill it goes away. It seems once a week that tape is the worst. If ignoring worked I wouldn't have need the band

It does not happen to me as much now, but if I think I have head hunger I really do try to redirect my brain by doing something or go for a walk. I also try to drink water and that often helps.

Sorry Line-dancer, but in the beginning right after surgery, when your restriction isn't enough and even head hunger, has to be ignored to succeed in WLS.IMHO

Great post Sharon! That's just how I've been doing it and it seems to be working. That's where our phrase "if you want it bad enough, you will do it".

God Bless Girlfriend!

great to hear this this fine Sunday morning!!! keep it up

i feel most people are mentally stronger then they think they are

all the inner demons we all face and the yo yo dieting, its no wonder we are scared to let the band work...why should it as everything else failed..

once we face it head on, my moment was the biggest number i ever weighed on a scale

that gave me the gumption to face it head on...no more crossing the street for me...i say bring it.

as for head hunger, its true......i realized it during pre op

all comes down to mind over matter...i want to get healthy bad enough to do whatever i have to make it happen...something i dibbed want power..
