Hi all, I'm a little over a week out from surgery and already feeling fantastic. So far have lost 15 pounds, haven't had to take meds for anything other than Pepcid temporarily and am sleeping like a baby. I'm still doing liquids and have moved into the soft protein stage with the cottage cheese etc. So far, every once in a while, I'll feel what I THINK are hunger pangs, but they go away pretty quickly and I realize that the grumbling is just acid indigestion. I KNOW I'm not really hungry because I'm fine going through the day with what little I'm eating---WAY different than before surgery...which is great.
Question is...when do you start to feel hunger again? Like REAL hunger?? Every once in a while when I'm eating my 2 oz of cottage cheese, ill feel like I'm not really full and could definitely eat more, but know that I'm not supposed to and stop myself. I know that's more of my "head hunger" showing up that got me in trouble over the years. When did you guys start really feeling hunger again? I'm a little worried that I still have head hunger but can control it because I know it's not the real hunger pangs kicking in...and am afraid of possible sabotage once both are there. Did that even make sense??? lol.
