I have no hunger pains..... Buuut...... My mind keep going back to my favorite dishes at Olive Garden and various Seafood spots I love..... Lord help me!!!!!

It gets better! Stay strong! The first week was the worst for me for sure!

Nique, I'm the same way. I'm obsessed with wanting to chew something. Every time I see a burger, cookie, whatever, I think "I freaking need that.". I'm not hungry AT ALL but i have a mental thing going on . Stay strong.

Nique, you'll get through this, all in good time and you'll find that you can eat the things at these places in moderation and feel really good about yourself!

I have the same problem ....but found a link to my head hunger and driving past restaurants at dinner time. The smells are wonderful..and then the craving starts!

I have quit driving around at dinner time...and doing better.

Know just what you mean. And I had no idea my head could be so clever at making these idle thoughts into deliciously real images, smells and hunger pangs. A (thin) friend of mine swears by cleaning her teeth whenever this starts. Personally I alternate between thinking of it as "food porn" (quite fun, a victimless crime, ok in the privacy of your own home, etc etc) and thinking there's just not enough toothpaste in the world.

I thought the liquid diet would be easy but I started trying out different shakes and broths and then it it me...ima have to drink this stuff for 2/3 weeks lol

,,, and just for a laugh count the number of food commercials on TV... all slider food (except 2 for orange juice)... and all designed to make you WANT and NEED that crap...
