Is this head hunger?



Recommended Posts

I'm hungry all the time! I'm doing the low carb, high Protein diet, but while trying to not overeat, I feel hungry all the time! What's up with this? is this the famed "head hunger?" I've been fat so long, I guess I don't know the difference.

bless your heart . . when you feel this way, just stop and listen to your tummy and ask yourself is it really hunger? Or do you just want to eat something. . . if you don't know, then drink alot of Water and see what happens in about 15 minutes, but i bet it's head hunger and not real hunger. . . good luck!

Since you are pre-op, this is going to be hard! That all changes when you have the sleeve. The ghrelin is reduced and your stomach is tiny. Just be patient. The stuggles of the pre-op diet are worth the outcome!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
