Lisa, I am so glad the restriction really did the trick for you!! And crossing my fingers for success on your interview - your new-found confidence and upbeat mood will win them over!! It's funny you posted this because I was just coming to the board to ask a similar question. So far, I'm not hungry at all. I had head hunger a few times in the first couple of weeks after surgery, but that is not an issue right now. Mine is more being really tired of playing Russian Roulette with food and wondering if it will make me sick, and then sure enough it does and that is getting really old really fast. today I feel like if I just don't bother eating I won't get sick and throw up. Now, I know that's not the right thing to do, so I won't do it, but I did just have runny Cream of Wheat for breakfast because I didn't even want to risk my trusty cottage cheese on my irritable pouch. So I'm just frustrated at my pouch and my tired of the

Poor Inky. I never get sick with anything I eat. Sometimes I find myself in pain after a few bites of something and I just stop, but I know it's cause I didn't chew enough or the bites were too big, but I don't fear eating anything....wonder why your pouch is so irritable? I hope you get over this soon, that's not any fun at all! This journey for me has been a total cake walk all the way around, and I started eating some foods earlier than I was supposed to even.

Most of the time I have absolute no hunger. There are times I want food though. That's when I have ice or a popsicle. Something to chew! There are a couple of times that I have noticed I haven't had anything for about 5 hours and I do feel a tinge of hunger.
