Unhunger

Not sure I "suffer" from it, but I certainly do experience it. I think mine has a lot to do with the brain/pouch connection. If I overeat I'm totally uncomfortable and I suffer that, but my brain still thinks I can eat that huge amount. Because 53 years of overeating didn't stop the habit and desire for to do so the day after surgery. Usually after eating I'm satisfied but my brain speaks loudly that whoa, that wasn't enough...you need more (you have wanted more for years, why are you stopping now)...habits, old school thoughts, habits, brain eating patterns, habits...yadda, yadda, yadda.

I cut myself some slack because I think it's going to take a while to sever the old brain/pouch connection. So in the meantime, I distract myself with other activities, piano practice, cleaning, prepping for the next day, online research, craft projects, etc. One day, my house will be spotless, my craft to do list will be accomplished, I'll be an accomplished pianist, and I will no longer be unhungry (well I can hope)!

 I think I suffer from an uncurable case of the unhungry. It goes in remission but it's always back there.
