Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 What do you mean by food withdrawal? I never felt like I had food withdrawal, in fact if anything I felt the opposite---like I was getting too much food after my surgery. I had a real difficult time getting enough protein/calories in for several months and my nutritionist had to keep telling me to eat more to keep my nutrition up. For the first few months after surgery I HAD NO HUNGER. I felt full after just a few bites. Of course that is part of what the surgery is supposed to do, satisfy our hunger sooner so we eat less. I think you'll do just fine with the surgery and you'll be surprised at how little you feel like eating. Some of us do have to do with " head hunger " and maybe thats what you're worried about. I'm sure others on the board will have some good suggestions for that. Good luck! Bridget Northam > My question today is how to deal with the food withdrawl. > What have others of you done?
