Bizarre Head Hunger



Recommended Posts

We've all had head hunger come out of nowhere, but I thought it might be amusing to share some of the more random or bizarre attacks and cravings we've had. I was reading a mystery novel in the bathtub this morning when head hunger popped up and I started craving a jam sandwich- bread, butter, and grape jelly. There was no jam sandwich in the book and I can't even remember the last time I had one. Definitely not one of my trigger foods! Like most cravings, it went away after a while, but I'm still struck by how random it was.

I had the same experience not too long ago for butter and crackers. Used to eat that as a kid. Hadn't had it in years...so I tried one cracker with butter. Well..truly.. One bite was enough! Tasted better in my youth then now! And this just like you, is not a trigger food for me. Funny how your brain wants to " trick" you!

I buy Water bottles with those tiny little lids. I have to throw the lids away when I open a bottle of Water because I will sometimes randomly want to swallow the stupid lid! I know it's my head messing with me, so I just eliminate the problem. I'd switch types of water bottle, but I don't like the pop-up lids or the flip lids anyway.

The weirdest food craving I've had is for pickled bologna. I loved it as a kid, then got away from it as an adult. My cousin had some in her fridge when I went to the family reunion and I probably ate 4 pieces over the three days I was there.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
