I am really hungry.. in my head

My stomach does not agree....

The really weird thing for me having  this done is the fight my stomach and brain are still having.

My head wants a big bowl of pasta with meatballs sauce and lots of veggies. My tummy wants 1-2 meatballs with a little sauce.

My head wants 3 slices of pizza with peppers onions and sausage. My tummy wants a small cup of yogurt.

My head wants a fat steak with a large helping of mashed potatoes and broccoli. My tummy wants a quarter of a chicken breast with a dollop of mashed potatoes.

My head wants a Cheeseburger meal with a diet coke a large fry from Wendys. My tummy wants a half of a small chili from Wendys.

I think I may go crazy!

Seriously.. they fight ALL THE TIME.

I hear you!  My head hunger fights me everyday also.  I know it is going to get worse over the holidays when everyone is bringing in yummy food for potlucks and parties.  But I am bound and determined to stay strong and remember why I did this.  I know it will be a battle for a long time but this time I am going to fight with all I have. 

I do completely understand what you are going through though.  If you ever need to chat or just vent to someone who understands, send me a message.

 I'm not having that problem so much as of yet, but I did drive past a place that I used to often go to for food that i really enjoyed.  And I drove past thinking wow, I can't eat there anymore.  I'm sure sometime in the future I'll be able to, but I won't be able to get the same thing,,.... I don't even know what I'd order there.  Anyways...  
My thing is I really don't know what to do with myself.  So much of what I used to do before was going out to eat, or get food.  I had take-out all the time.  Now my food, (liquids) last me so long.  It's a bit strange.  Oh, and I can no longer just sit in my house doing nothing. (well at least not for an extended period of time) I have to go and do something.  But these are good things.  

Hopefully soon your tummy and your head will match up.. 

Oh, I found this funny today.. Before surgery I could gulp down "a lot" of water or pretty much any liquids quickly.. Now I can't.. but now "a lot" seems to have a different meaning when it comes to liquid.  I had an 8 oz bottle of water, and I took what felt like a couple of quick big sips/gulps.  But really I only had maybe about 3oz but it felt like a lot.  haha.. So I suppose my head is changing.  

Don't stop fighting,


 

HA! The drinking is crazy for me too. I used to gulp down like half a glas of milk.. I did it by accident the other day and it was like flushing a toilet.. I could feel the milk turning in my stomach.. and it taking so long to drink is crazy! Good luck to you !

My head is doing me in as well... I HAVE to measure everything bc I ALWAYS overeat this little tummy. I am afraid I am going to stretch it out!!

THanksgiving is going to be a major challenge.

WE CAN DO THIS DAMMIT!! I know we can!

 What does it feel like when you have too much?  Do you just feel pain, or is it something else?
