So my head is hungry. My stomach is not of course. Im only a few days out of surgery, I was sleeved on Monday. But my head knows I haven't had real food since Friday. So, all those darned food commercials are not easy to watch. I'm no where near ready for food. But I finally understand the whole head hunger thing. Ugh!

I put the TV on mute during commercials, and keep something handy to distract me so I don't look at the tv...or make a trip to the little girls room. In my experience, "head hunger" does get better...especially if you focus on how NOT hungry your tummy is. All the best to you.

That's a good idea, thanks!

I would LOVE to hear more tricks for quieting head hunger!!

Something in what you are doing is acting as a trigger, you get a cue, it starts the trigger and urges on the habit (head hunger).

Consider reading "The Power of Habit" by Dughill - it explains it sooo well.

I struggled with major head hunger for my first month post-op, and now rarely struggle at all, so there's light at the end of the tunnel! It was those darn commercials for me, too! Hang in there

My thing now post op is man vs. food . I know stupid!!! Just show to u it is not just u... It is normal... I never watched that show . My friend who had this surgery tells me she felt the same and it got better. I hope it does

I have the same problem.. hang in there
