5DPT October
"The most important thing I ask you to remember is that hunger is not a
personal failure. It is cliche in the WLS world to say "they operated on
my stomach, not my head" as an explanation for the frustrations of
hunger after surgery. Some days there simply is no way to explain it -
and I say that with some experience having just marked my 15th year
since surgery." ~ Kaye Bailey 5 Day Pouch Test Bulletin
For several years now I have been saying and writing that hunger is not
an emergency. I came to this conclusion after reading "Most of us who
struggle with extra pounds tend to view hunger as a condition that needs
to be cured - and fast!" in Judith Beck's Beck Diet Solution. She goes
on to say, "If you fear hunger, you might routinely overeat and avoid
it. Thin people tolerate hunger because they know hunger pangs always
come and go, buying them some time." On most days I understand that
hunger pangs come and go and feeding is not an urgent matter of life or
death. But occasionally on those more cynical days I think, "Sure hunger
is not an emergency for the normal people who can eat a full meal, but
what about poor me and my little pouch?" Have you been there?
