Head Hunger

So, I am in the process of doing the 5 day pouch test. The food devil is telling me to "eat" but my stomach is telling me that im full. Now I have not given in to the cravings, but its driving me crazy. My question is, how does everyone deal with their head hunger? Any advice on this?

yes, stay busy, drink alot and keep occupied...the commercials, the radio, the times to eat are hard to deal with at times..i found out on my pre op that most of my eating came because i was bored and not truly hunger..there is a totally huge difference between being hungry and our bodies needing to be fed and us (just thinking we are hungry)........if you think you are hungry, drink something (cold) and see if that solves the issue......it does w/me...

but i eat when i am hungry..

best of luck to you.
