I am feeling hungy I want Tacobell it's killing me!!!

Oh my god... I know what you mean. I have been on liquids for a full week and have another one to go. I just want to crunch something! I am tempted, and I know this is kinda grose, to chomp on some crackers and spit them back out just for some crunch time. I don't trust myself however to know "accidently" swallow them, that would be bad, very bad. I feel your pain girl! Leslie

I know where you are my friend!!! I was only on liquids for a bit over a week. Then dr switched me to purees because I was losing too fast. The purees help. He even said I could have a cracker or pretzel with peanut butter as an afternoon snack. There was my crunch!! I have been having a bit of trouble with the food aspect but my head hunger has not been out of control. NOW- Let's factor in that I own a bakery/cafe. I have been back to work since week 3. I was cutting brownies and slicing fresh bread jut dying to TASTE. Just TASTE. It was so hard to not lick my fingers and pick at the crumbs (an old habit). I have not experienced dumping yet and I am afraid to try. I almost want to experience it so that I mind will KNOW not to taste. Then again I do not want to know that I do not dump. I wonder when the head hunger goes away. On the Taco Bell Pintos, do you need to puree them to eat them if you are on puree diet or are they soft enough to eat as is?

Hi Vanessa! Thanks for sharing your cravings. I am only 7 days out and can't get pizza out of my head! Nice gooey cheese, pepperoni .... sigh! I know that it is just head hunger, but, filling myself up with these sweet protein drinks just doesn't make it go away. It helps to remind myself that I will be able to have all these wonderful things again someday. Just take it one day - even one hour - at a time! Mimi

Hello everyone, I hope you all are feeling well, I just have to say the head hunger I was feeling last night got to me so bad I took a bite of my kids cheeseburger, oh my was it so gooooood! and after cheweed it as best as i possibly could and got all the jice out of it I spit it all out! I was like a bug sucking the juice from it's prey! I know I shouldnt have done it but, OH WELL...hahahahah it sure stopped the craving just to get a taste, problem now is I want more, and I even dreamed about it last night,hahahahahahahaha but i am going to be a good girl till I go to see the doc tomorrow! then hopefully I can start on something besides liquids! When I wanna chew i grab a celerey stalk and chew n chew then spit it out, it worked well for me and got me through this craving to chew! just thought I would share! Hope all the Marchers are well and keep fighting for what you want!!!!! God Bless you all!!!! Hugz Mary

WOW!! I so totally understand! This weekend, my daughter wanted Taco Bell and so we went there. I couldn't stand it and had some refried beans w/out the cheese. I had a couple bites and that did it for me, but I soooo know what you mean. Hang in there! I am only supposed to be eating full liquids, so this was off the diet for me - back in the saddle again. It is a head thing and that has been the biggest battle for me to learn and determine when it is a head hunger and not a stomach hunger. Such a learning experience. Peace and hugs----Dayna
