Head hunger

I'm 6 months out, just about 7 months. My surgery was 6/6/12 I've lost 100 pounds. I'm eating 3 times a day and getting my fluids. Don't have to drink my protein unless I need help getting it along with my food intake. I still have issues with hunger. I know I'm not really hungry but sometimes I can't tell. When I feel this way I get a drink of water and then the full feeling comes back. I am waiting the 30 minutes after eating to drink as I've been told by my nutritionist to do. I've had this issue since before the surgery, am I hungry? My stomach is growling, is it hungry, is it digesting the food I just ate? All this is running through my mind. I've had such an easy time of this whole process. I have been truly blessed with no complications and very little pain during recovery. I've only have had a couple of bouts of getting sick while learning to eat again. I still have a long way to go and I don't want to screw this up! Is anyone else dealing with this? Has anyone gotten through this and does anyone have any suggestions for me?
