I am now 6 days post op and all I can think about is a big, juicy cheeseburger and fries. Am I horrible? I just want some "real food". So tired of the liquids already. Thought about trying a scrambled egg today. I wasn't able to eat them pre-op due to a pseudo allergy. Really hoping it goes well. Now somebody tell me to buck up, put my big girl panties on and deal with it. I did this to better myself and getting all wrapped up in my pity party isn't going to help. *rant over* Thanks for listening.

I think what you are experiencing is normal. Sometimes drinking Water while you have craving will help it to go away. I know for me when I was six days out Protein drinks would leave a metallic taste in my mouth, so I would not have used that to deal with head hunger. However, water would help. Remember head hunger will pass if you allow it to. I applaud you for trying develop strategies to deal with head hunger. Head hunger will be a life long battle for us. But the more you deny it weakens the voice.
