Stupid Head Hunger

[mverges 15]

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
