I hope you are right!! It is probably in my head. I have been actually thinking about food and how it tastes and I have not done that since my surgery. Like I have been thinking about tacos and how they taste...burgers and how they taste. Food has been on my mind a lot and I don't like it at all. I hope it passes....and fast!!

Like Kenya said, its head hunger, try to drink more fluids when you feel like eating it will pass, I have been experiencing this the last week or so, I just grab something to drink instead.

I really struggled with this the last week and it's finally getting better. I think some of it is hormonal as well as head hunger. Also, I think some was that my body really need more protein and fluids. Once I upped the fluids and the protein the last couple of days it has been better. I do see that I can eat more at one sitting (like 4-5 ounces sometimes) since I hit about 3 months. I don't push it, but I read it's normal now that the swelling is gone. Weird isn't it? One day I am not very hungry and fill really fast, others I feel ravenous and like my pouch is suddenly huge!!!!

It probably is an indication that your pouch is recovering well from surgery, and getting into its own groove. First drink, but if it persists, then try protein snacks.
It also can be head hunger, your brain reacting, because your pouch is starting to feel better.
(((((HUGS)))) You've done well so far, and you'll be fine.

I had this problem about 2 weeks ago. For like a week all I wanted to do was eat every 2 hours, drink a ton in between and I think I either didn't lose or only lost a pound that week. It turned out it was PMS for me. I have an IUD and can never guess when it will come. I 'spotted' for a week. Now I'm struggling to eat because I'm not hungry and get full REAL fast and drinking is a struggle too because I'm not thirsty and get full off one or 2 sips. I've lost 6 pounds since that week.
It's amazing how hormones and our thoughts can effect us so strongly in different ways so quickly!
