Head Hunger vs Actual Hunger

I had the sleeve on Nov 7th. Is it normal to have cravings? I still find myself grabbing for things (healthy and not healthy) just to realize nope I can't eat food right now. Of course, I am following my docs instructions and have only had protein shakes, water, Popsicles, and diluted "cream of" soups. I swear sometimes I am actually hungry but my team says there is no way. It's so hard to tell between the two hungers. How do you?

  • I thought I would share a video about hunger, Dr V has many many of these videos covering all sorts of topics in regard to bariatric surgery. Hope you find it helpful.

Dr. V has been pretty discredited by "retiring" from bariatric surgery and then shilling MLM snake oil

He may have retired. Good Luck to him. I still find the things he says have merit and are helpful in understanding many aspects of where we find our selves on the bariatric journey.
