6 days post op mental hunger..



Recommended Posts

Yeah in the beginning you're recovering but when you start moving and feel better then it will suck... But you get use to it and find a routine. I still eat pizza but a tiny version of what I use to eat. If you're like me you'll have to confront your dysfunctional relationship with food and it will be a break up. Eventually the head hunger moves on and you'll hang out with the ghost of head hunger. You're normal and it is hard. Best of luck to you

The first week post op I very vividly dreamed about food every night. I felt soooooo hungry. I read that your body still has residual grehlin immediately after surgery, hence the hunger. This pretty much went away the second week. I'm on my third week now and am never hungry nor do I think of food. Good luck.

Omg!! I thought I was just FAT! Here it is I have had surgery and am still hungry. Who does that. I feel so much better knowing I wasn't the only one. I had surgery on 10/24 and the biggest part is having a hungry teenager, an 11 year old and a three year old. I have nibbled on some of their food but decided to stop because it defeats the purpose of making this decision.

Absolutely what LxA said "you'll have to confront your dysfunctional relationship with food and it will be a break up. Eventually the head hunger moves on".

I second that!

I'm 3 weeks post surgery and the vivid food dreams were crazy. I woke up convinced that I had eaten Nachos and hot dogs (foods I rarely ate before). I still feel hunger, but less frequently and definitely not in relation to something I see or smell.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
