Had anyone had craving post sleeve??? I am worried that will be the most difficult part!

I definitely had cravings, but for the first few weeks I couldn't do anything about it because of the diet restrictions. Now that I can eat whatever I want, the cravings are not as bad. I have had a bite or two of some of the things I have been craving this week though, and was very happy to find that a bite or two was really enough when before I would eat the whole bag.

Yes, lots of us have cravings - also sometimes called "head hunger" (you can search for that here in the forums and find probably hundreds of posts about it). I crave a grilled cheese sandwich. Nothing fancy, nothing huge. Just cheddar cheese and bread toasted to a nice golden brown and oozing. I can't have it right now. I've accepted it, and moved along.

The thing is, the sleeve isn't a miracle, and it wasn't an operation on your brain, which is where the cravings come from. The only thing the sleeve is guaranteed to do is make your capacity smaller. It MAY also reduce or eliminate physical hunger for a while, but that's not guaranteed.

It's a lot of work, fighting the cravings. But you can do it!

like the others, I have had cravings, as well as both head hunger and real hunger...the sleeve is a tool to help us deal with those cravings while learning healthier eating behavior...I don't expect my cravings to ever totally go away...for me, though, eliminating starches like potatoes, bread, rice and pasta has helped me keep the cravings under control, since those have been my trigger foods in the past

Yes, that is more of what I meant. Just as in changing your habits and learning to change habits. Was it easier to stay on track?
