I was just banded yesterday and I'm feeling great. When I got home yesterday though, the first thought I had was "oh my gosh, I can't EAT." My head instantly wanted something. I was finally able to appease it with broth and to distract it with fashion runway shows on TV. But for those of you who get this head hunger, how do you deal with it? Does it get better when you really start to see results? Do you struggle with this all the time? Thanks, Cherry

I struggle with it still and I'm 5 months out. It's a game really. When I get head hungry, I gotta remove myself from the house. I find it easier when I'm on the go to ignore it except for those snack packs of peanuts. I gotta do better at substituting fluids for head hunger and going outside away from the food.

I recently picked up fly fishing and the stream is right down the street from my house. I hope that it helps.

I am nine weeks after surgery and this is definitely my most difficult challenge. I am home alone during the day and fight myself to not overeat. It's head hunger without a doubt and I don't have any real answers for you, to date, however, I REALLY EMPATHIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would eat sf banana popsicles to feed my head hunger.
