urges

not at all hungry yet susie - my sister came back from holiday yesterday and she had asked me to get her some cook books from the library - sat looking through them for at least an hour last night with her and although there was plenty in there that I could eventually fancy, I can honestly say at this stage, I was not even remotely tempted x

 

[newbie]

wow ali thats great. i constantly have utges for certain foods (chinese) and give in. i hope after my surgery i will no longer have these urges to binge eat.

Hi Ali,
I know what you mean. Eating is such a chore sometimes! Isn't it great to say that? Honestly though, almost 7 weeks post gastric bypass, I'm still not hungry either. Mentally I can fancy everything under the sun, but that's not a big issue because I'm on a mission to lose weight, plus being full after a few mouthfulls soon stops any urge to pig out. You're doing fantastically Ali. Well done!

 

[newbie]

so asfter surgery the urges to binge are gone??

hi susie, i think that the mental urges are probably still there for a while, but in my experience the tummy says no (but it is very early days for me!!)

 

[newbie]

thanks ali
