This is soooo weird....

I was sleeved on the 20th two days ago and I am not even near being hungry and also when I see those lovely fast food commercials that I used to drool over no longer effects me and I actually get turned off.... Anybody else experience this after surgery?

I wish I had that problem. I guess because I still can't eat food yet, my mind still remembers how it taste and the texture of the food. So I see the commericials and I would so just love to have a bite. Sometimes I just close my eyes so I don't have to see it.

I'm not hungry, its just my mind playing dirty tricks on me. I hope once I get to eating foods, the taste will turn me off some, so I don't want to overeat. Even though I know I can't (Thank the Lord and my Sleeve). Oh what I would give to just take a bite of a hamburger or maybe two bites.

And the funny thing is, before my sleeve I was so good about my diet and what I ate. I was doing WW and was only eating healthy things, now all of a sudden I find myself wanting the bad things again. Why? I hate this feeling. I wish I knew how to make my brain stop this, it's killing me. But if I'm not thinking about food, I'm fine. No cravings, no hunger. This is going to be harder than I thought, dealing with my freaking "head". I hate head games.

I'm at exactly the same point as you - things still look appetizing because I remember enjoying them from my old life and now I want that, even though I can't have it. I keep trying to distract myself with stuff I CAN have. IE See an ice-cream commercial and want ice cream? - Have a SF pudding. Steak craving? - Have some tuna salad. Things like that - and once I eat I feel physically satisfied, but my mind is still mourning that bad stuff I can't have.

I hope it goes away for both of us soon.
