Head hunger

[mmelissab 14]

I started my liquid diet on the 26th and im having a really hard time dealing with hunger. Mostly head hunger, i think. Seeing my hubby chow down on a big burger is emotionally painful. Surgery scheduled for December 12th, and still waiting for insurance approval. Stress hitting hard. Juat having a tough night...

I know what you mean but you will get through it. For now maybe you could do something else while your husband eats his meals so you won't be so teased. It's difficult to see and smell that food so distance helps.

I agree!! I have been making my phone calls during meal times, or jumping on line... or going tanning!! lol! Anything to avoid seeing, smelling or sitting next to the yum yums! Seems to be helping me, I guess. You can do it! I keep reminding my self... "That burger doesn't taste as good as healthy & skinny feels!!"

Keep your eye on the prize! Remember why you are doing this and dont give in to these issues. You can do it.

As for hubby, you might ask him just for now to eat in the other room? That might help you at least through pre op.

Mine was great and super supportive. He refused to eat anything in front of me during pre op and even post op for about a month. I actually had to convince him it was ok to eat in front of me post surgery.

I started my diet today and it is becoming a VERY LONG DAY. Everyone in my office is chowing down on Snacks and food and it smells so good, I am trying to just drink Water to keep my mind off of it. I may need to split my two allotted shakes to make them four small shakes to get through the day. THis is going to be such a long 2 weeks. I still have to go home and MAKE dinner for my family.

I started my pre-op diet on the 27th, and have just finished day 4. It definitely gets better. It can be hard to be around food, especially when you first start. Just take it one moment at a time. You can do it!!!

I know how you feel, get out of there when someone is eating. That's one of my tactics. LOL! And when I leave out of the room, it's not graceful, I'm dodging and running. Lol! It will get better, hun.

I found cooking things in the slow cooker all day so it was ready when he got home helped. That way, they could eat and I could drink my Protein shake and not be tempted during the prep process. I cook by tasting so that's another reason the slow cooker works well for me.
