Head Hunger and Worries

I usually lurk more than post, but every once in a while I pop out. I just wanted to see how others are dealing with the head hunger. I didn't have a problem with it until the last week or so. I'm on full foods as tolerated and haven't had any problems at all. I am having a hard time convincing myself that I'm NOT hungry between meals. And it's not hunger -- it's want. How do yall all deal with that? Will it eventually subside? Also, for some reason, I guess since I am on a regular diet, I'm terrified of stretching my pouch out. I only eat until full, but sometimes you aren't aware that last bite should have been your last bite until after you eat it - make sense? I've been overly worried about the stretching over the last few days. I haven't gotten sick or thrown up AT ALL and I guess I'm wondering if everything is okay, know what I mean? Okay -- enough of my psychotic paranoia. Lisa

Unfortunately I have no advice for you since I am going through exactly the same thing. I have been dealing with it for about a month already. I was told to eat 6 small meals so that sure helps! As far ad stretching the pouch... My doc said that if I have not vomited I have not stretched it. So I guess that I am doing okay.

Hi Lisa, The only advise I have for you is to drink, drink, drink. This will keep you full in between meals. Try and get in more than the required 64oz. Also keep busy, go for a walk if it's nice outside, hang out with us on the board, etc. You're doing great! Regards and hugs, Ronna
