Head hunger.....grrrrrrrrrrr....and i MEAN IT!!!!
Well, I'm 2 weeks post op Monday. I have some SERIOUS head hunger!!! I've been 100% on plan 
....my doctor has me on liquids (protein shakes okay) for 3 WEEKS!!!! 
Tonight, we went to a basketball game and my whole family ate hamburgers and hot dogs (my old favorite), potato salad, and cookies!!!! 
This is a challenge! It's not that I want to eat, but I really want to eat!!! Just venting cause I'm not eatin!! 
I am going to FIRE LANE BRYANT!!!

I completely empathize with you. I am on my pre-op liquid diet and can only think about the soft, chewy molasses ginger cookies I made my daughter earlier today. I've got a kettle going and will drink some broth to help, but damn, I want one of those cookies! Hang in there!

Hang in there, you're doing great. Soon you will be able to eat solid food, and your restriction will take hold. Once that happens, you won't be as tempted by crappy food, trust me.
I fight head hunger all the time. What is good about the sleeve it that it helps me determine when what I am experiencing is real hunger vs. head hunger. I didn't have that ability before the sleeve.
Good luck!
