head hunger or physical???



Recommended Posts

Which is the hardest for you? Head hunger or physical hunger? For me I think it is head hunger!!! Sometimes, I have the nibbles and nothing I can do will take my mind off food. I can ignore my tummy growling for food though.

Even DH is watching me like a hawk. He caught me trying to nibble(on healthy stuff) and he could hardly yell at me because his mouth was full of peanuts!!! I just asked him if he was enjoying the peanuts.:eyebrows::faint:

Head hunger is the worst for me. It strikes when I am bored, or when I do something I used to always eat during; like playing on the computer... >.<

I can't eat in the morning due to my pills getting stuck though I have an Unjury shake. I get really, really hungry about 2 p.m. so I have Breakfast. I don't seem to have head hunger. I'm really hungry. So I eat breakfast at 2-3 p.m. and then dinner at about 6-7 and then I'm hungry about 3-4 hours later so I snack late at night. I eat nuts, cheese and Protein except for the ice cream cone I have every night. I love that ice cream cone. I don't care if it's fattening. But that may explain why I lost 40 pounds and stopped. I have weighed the same for a year--no further weight loss. I figure it cost me about $250 per pound so far. I'd really like to lose 10 more pounds so it will only have cost me $200. But on the bright side, I only take 1/2 of my diabetes pill now. If I take a whole one, my blood sugar drops too much. Things are better.

$82.98.

That's what my weight loss costs so far per pound. I hadn't figured it out in quite some time so I'm feeling a little better about $7800 at this point. :eek:

Cool. I paid $340.42 Cdn per pound. Worth every penny. :biggrin1:

Since I was just banded, I've been forcing fluids a little at a time--but today I noticed "being hungry" for the first time. My stomach was even growling. I ate half a cup of blended pea Soup and I actually "feel" restriction even though there shouldn't be any yet.

I licked a rice crispy treat and took a nice long whiff of it as my husband ate his "cookies" today. No harm done. It didn't make me want to eat the entire plate of treats. In fact, I felt pretty darn satisfied knowing I didn't want any. Neat trick, that!

Not necessarily a matter of should/shouldn't. Some people (I'm one of them) are able to acheive a good amount of restriction with the band itself. In other words, it causes enough restriction to start getting the job done, deflated.

Hence my first PB was 3 days post op. :faint:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
