What is head hunger?

Head Hunger for me is a craving for sweets or carbohydrates
without feeling any physical signs of hunger.

My stomach is full or at least not empty
and I don't feel the normal sensation of real hunger.

Pre-surgery, my Head Hunger came in the form of a craving
for a particular flavor... hamburgers, fries, cherry pie, ect.

Post-surgery, my Head Hunger is more generic,
just a general feeling that I want to eat, no particular flavor though.

If you are hungry "for" a particular kind (or kinds) of food, that is head hunger. If you find yourself thinking "I could go for a burger" or "I need a cupcake" or "surely there is something crunchy and salty in these cupboards" -- that is head hunger. But if you are hungry and *anything* short of roasted kittens or fricasseed human flesh sounds good, then you are probably actually hungry.

Omgeeee???? that's don't sound good

What if my craving is for human brains?

Is that head hunger or am I a zombie? :-P
