1a. 3 mos HUNGRY TIGER

OKkkk, lol, nobody told me about the return of the vicarious hunger at 3
mos. But then again, did someone mention that at 3 mos the healing is complete
and your system doesn't hurt anymore. So then the hunger does indeed
return, hard, and that's the way it is going to be? We have to deal with it like
that from then on?
Well, this past week, first week in July 2009, after 3 full months and I
had surgery on the 2nd of March, my hunger has returned in full force. Ouch-y!
Now to get back on protein powders and see if I can calm the tiger.
Any suggestions? What did anyone else go through?
peace, Lee

Well said, Lee. But I didn't sense hunger until 5-6 months post-op,
and so far it's been easily remedied by (1) drinking enough water,
and timing the drinking correctly, and (2) staying focused on the
important things like home, work, relaxation, relationships,
responsibility. If I can stay mentally engaged with my real life - or
distracted by computer games or a good book - the food is better and
the tiger stays in his den. If I let something rock me off center,
say, for example, I let domestic silliness shake me, the tiger growls
and I have to slow down and evaluate the situation.
I'm nowhere anywhere near perfect, and the tiger will always be with
me. But sometimes, with the right support and playing by the rules, I
can beat him and do the right thing. Not always - but this is about
progress, not perfection.
Good luck in your struggle. You may want to repeat those now-famous
words uttered here: "They fix you stomach, not your head" as many
times a day as needed. When I'm hungry, trying to touch with the
source of the hunger can make a big difference in the outcome.
