Head Hunger

How do you deal with head hunger? I am going crazy thinking about food! I'll eat a jello and be full so I know I am not physically hungry, but man am I head hungry! I try not to think about all these "cravings" going through my head, but I am going crazy!!! So any helpful advise would be wonderful!

I have the same problem!! Last night I dreamed of KFC. I DONT like KFC. But geez, I have A LOT of head cravings. I suck on peanut butter M&Ms when it gets bad for sweets. It only takes about three to make me feel better. But Red Robin and Taco Bell invade my dreams! I dont know what to do. I hope it gets better, I am one month post op.

I dreamt of McDonald's. lolololol. So I woke up and had jello. I put a Dan of sugar free whip cream on it and it has made all the difference in the world.

I had dreams about food too. They go away once you are eating a regular diet. I found that the stuff i wanted so badly, (KFC etc) wasn't worth the effort. The greasy, unhealthy stuff is even more filling than other foods. After 3 bites of some KFC I am stuffed. this annoys me to no end so I just make a better choice and can have 4-5 bites instead. Its a trade off.

What bothers me even more than dreaming of certain foods is the head hunger I get when I eat. I know this sounds crazy but I mentally want to eat more even though I am stuffed and physically can't. My mind keeps saying that's so good, just one more bite. I hate that! But luckily like I said I just can't physically do it. Hopefully one day my mind will catch up with my stomach.

I am plain hungry. No such thing as head hunger for me. I try to eat healthy stuff even then I won't stay full for more than one hour. I am starving at all time, so bad my employer let me have 15 mns break ever 2 hours coz I will be irritable, shaking, and plain mean.
