Re: Surgery was April 12th
It's so mental! Hang in there. Distract yourself. Drink some warm broth.
in the beginning I kept saying it felt weird to not chew. Then by the time I was allowed regular food I was so used to it. Chewing food again felt strange.

Re: Surgery was April 12th
Jello and ice pops really help with the urge to chew, give that a try. This happened to me, too, and someone recommended it and it helped.

Re: Surgery was April 12th
Yes, I had the urge to eat, but I was not hungry! I really believe the mental game is much harder than the physical one. Hang in there, it gets better, and the mental game changes but is still a challenge for me.

Re: Surgery was April 12th
I swore I was HUNGRY a couple days after surgery and there was NO way I could have been. it was mental hunger, I am sure of it. It still happens now every night when I am in bed watching TV and there is NO way I am hungry. I have no appetite as it is during the day, so why at 8pm would I be hungry? I just blow it off and wait until morning when I can have my protein shake.

Re: Surgery was April 12th
Evening hunger was the worst!why at 8pm would I be hungry?
After reflection, I realized I had conditioned myself to literally starve myself all day long due to hectic schedule, then I'd order take out and come home and eat in front of tv mindlessly. This was a routine for years and years. After surgery my life and schedule changed drastically and it wasn't an easy adjustment.HW: 245lbs (11/15); SW: 226lbs (5/17/16) - Height: 5'6"

Re: Surgery was April 12th
It does get a bit easier each day. I felt better when I could eat soft foods. Also, if you actually "feel" hungry, versus having an "urge" to eat, it could be acid reflux. Especially if it feels like hunger pangs. Good luck!

Re: Surgery was April 12th
Glad I'm not the only one who feels that it really and truly is all mental. This is coming from a dude who was 568lbs at 6'8. All I wanted to do was eat, haha. It truly is great to only eat when you're actually hungry and not because you think your body needs it.
