Omg im three weeks post op Monday and i would kill for chicken fried steak! Obviously I know I can't have it but the cravings are crazy. I really need to get this head hunger thing under control any advice? I'm hoping it will get better once I can start on real food.

Me too!

I know it's not easy, and head hunger does suck! Try to keep your eyes on the prize and fill yourself with protein first (i know easier said than done, but worth it!) Last night my friends ate a large gourmet burger and fancy fries in front of me while I ate my cup of shrimp sausage gumbo. I SOOOO wanted to dive into their plate, but I resisted. In the end, they were miserable for over eating and I was satisfied with my soup after all. Our mind can play tricks on us with hunger...don't give in and don't give up!

I have head hunger and I struggle with not thinking about my next meal. Oww, what am I going to have? When I get it, I just want to eat alot, but I can't. Thank God. I am going to start drinking alot of liquids before I get out of bed. Do any of you have any ideals on making food less attractive to me? I really need some help here. Thank you guys, you are my new family. <3

i had crazy head hunger issues! I was angry and agitated also, which caught me by surprise. I am now 3 months post-op and feel completely different. I can eat pretty much whatever I want but in small amounts. Know that the head hunger and cravings will pass and is a small sacrifice for the greater reward. Good luck!
