Can't stop head hunger

 I am so head hunger any suggestions I have been drinking water allot 

Try drinking different things. Sometimes decaf coffee helps me. Or tea. Other than that, I'm not really sure what else. Sorry.

I'm having the same damn problem!  I'm a week out and even though I've not physically felt hunger since I woke up from surgery, my head is screaming at me that I'm starving!

Does thereapy or group counseling sessions help with that eventually?
Anyone know?

I am pre-op (October 4th) and now I can hardly differentiate head and real hunger. Anyone know if it gets better?

In addition to our regular support group we have a support group run by the center's psychologist for post ops.  We spend most of our time talking about head hunger, weight gain, eating issues, etc.  It is helpful.

Yes, therapy or counseling is a wonderful way to work through alot of these problems.  It doesn't mean it will be easy but it sure will help to give you the tools you need to use when things like head hunger arises.  If not start reading alot and researching on the net. 
Head hunger is difficult at first.  We have eaten everyday of our lives since we were able to have food put in our mouth.  Now all we can have right in the beginning are clear and/or solid liquids.  Some doctors allow food right away, even in the hospital.  Lora, one of our veterans had food in the hospital before going home so every surgeon has a different protocol. 
What is good is that you are aware of the head hunger issue.  I am at over 4 months and I have to be careful sometimes because I will see something on TV and I automatically will crave it.  Pavlov's dog reaction is what it is. Power of suggestion. 
Good luck on your surgery in October!   Jane

 I suspect what you are craving is INPUT. It does not have to be FOOD, it can be a walk in a park, a ride on a bike. Playing with children or a video game. A good book/movie. It has to be something that stimulates and distracts you.

Good luck

I am 9 months out and have been having a huge problem with this lately. I do find drinking coffee helps!

We had surgery the same day!  I had this all day yesterday and today is not starting out to well either.  I think mine comes from being bored sometimes.  It was a slow day at work yesterday but as soon as I made my self busier, and had a protein shake it got better.  Plus being in a stall wasn't helping.  Try and keep busy that's what I try to do to just think about something else so I will stop thinking about food!

I know in the past when I've dieted (no WLS yet for me) sometimes chewing gum (I don't know if you can have SF Gum...still new kid on the block) and doing something else, perferably away from food/kitchen, as the gentleman above mentioned. 

For me it's the tast of something in my mouth...I've been known to chew/spit it out/chew a new piece through a pack in very little time...but eventually I think it's retraining our heads to know what is hunger and what is habbit/head hunger.  You're not alone, best of luck to you.  Please share what you find that helps, I'm sure I'll be there soon enough.
