I had my surgery on 10/5 and the doc wants me on liquids until 10/19. I fix food for the kids or even if they fix and eat it I want it. I think this is what is called head hunger. How do you turn it off. It seems all i think about is food. Its all around and cant get away from it.

Are you drinking shakes? If so go on eggface website they have some you will love that will help you fend off the head hunger.

If I am on liquids can I add fruit to the shakes? Just looked at the and they look good. Oh and yes I am drinking protein, broyh, sf jello and sf popsicles.

Not sure please ask you doc.

Head hunger is a hard one. You have to find the best way for you. I just remind myself how I got here. I know I don't want to go back to tthe way I was, so I try to find something else to do or eat. It is hard when you are in liquids. But it does get easier. I don't think fruit is ok yet, but check with your Dr. Take a walk or exercise when the head hunger hits. Your nutritionist would be an excellent resource or search this forum. There are tons of ideas here. Good luck!
