Mental versus physical

Okay, now I have a question...How long did it take for your tummy and mind to catch up and get on the same page? With all my problems, I guess I am scared about food now (which I have read has happened to some people). Finally my tummy is telling me I'm hungry. My mind, on the other hand, has no interest in food. I can make myself sick by even thinking of food. I am just curious if this has happened to anyone else...

Just to let everyone know I am doing better. I still have my feeding tube, but only rely on it for liquid protein now. After the fourth dilation, I have been told my stricture is going away and my ulcer is healed. Yeah! Just trying to be normal again!

 I am glad you are doing better. I haven't made the mind pouch connection yet. I really do not feel hungry and I hope it stays that way. I have head hunger which is more than I need. There are days I do not even think of food and some thats all I think about. I am able to keep myself under control, I don't eat every time my head says to and I do eat on a schedule because I need to for health reasons. It all works out with time as you get in to a routine.

I'm so glad to hear that your doing better!  I am 10 months out and I just now started feeling hungry.  Not big time but I can tell now when I need to eat.  Some days I feel that and some days I swear I could go all day and not eat anything.  I know what your talking about though.  I still haven't tried anything that would be considered cheating at all.  In my mind I just can't go there.  You should email abbi the nuritionist, she's great.  Keep up the good work! ;) Lou
