I'm not hungry... I want food.

Well I am not at all hungry. I even feel full from my soup.

...but I want food. Pizza would be soooooo nice.

Anyone else feel this way?

    Thanks everyone! I got through it! I just licked the pizza and smeared it all over my body. Just kidding. I just waited it out and it went away. But it sucks when it happens!!!!

Once we can get past that head hunger... then we realize we are not really hungry at all.

I felt the same way. I was used to eating tons of veggies from my garden and I was not allowed any veggies until week 8. That as a killer. So I made my own clear liquid from my garden greens. I blended them up and then strained the juice and then filtered it through a coffee filter. I added this juice to my water bottle and broth. At first my doc was not happy, but when I showed her that she could see through it, so it was clear, she was OK with it. Told her it was better than artificially flavored or sweetened drinks. Anyway, it made me feel better psychologically and also physically, I believe.

You could do the same with greens, cabbage, broccoli, but NOT with carby veggies like carrots or sweet potato.

Thank you. Very good advice.

You are not hungry you are hungry mentally! - I never had this problem but my brother had it big time, I think my solution was to buy a puppy and go walk and move around. I also to this day play games to see how long i can go with no solid food - Record is 9 days

I actually feel really hungry at times. I’m 8 days post op and I can’t stop thinking about food. ?

I am 8 months out and I feel deprived sometimes too. I watch videos of food blogs on youtube and snapchat. It helps me, however, it could make it works for someone. I did that in the beginning too.
