How do I say this.... i am not at ease with the whole food thing. After my surgery I had a food fear, I was in so much pain and food of any type liquide, soft ect.... made me sick and in that much more pain. Now my food fear has gone the other direction..... my appetite has increased I constantly feel hungry I am afraid I am going to be fat again cause i am so hungry, I try drinking more fluids to fill that empty void but it is not working. I think about food all day long. As long as I am awake food is on my mind. Do you think my body is lacking something and I feel the need to eat and am just not getting it or what? Or is my old habbits come back with a vengence and I need to reighn in the animal (hunger) instinct to eat eat eat.......

I feel the same way. I do get hungrier and scared. I eat the wrong things and realize I should snack on protein. I think it is normal to be afraid of going back to how we were. Your body may be telling you to eat...you may need something and good food is ok.

I think you are doing a great job and so close to goal.

Do you keep up with your blood work? Know if your are deficiant anywhere? I knew a pregnant woman that went out to eat one time and stripped all the meat off of her ribs so she could chew on the bone. She found out later she had a calcium deficiancy!
If it's not that it could be a sub concious awareness that your body will accept more and therefore you want to indulge in more. In that case there is nothing wrong with satisfying your cravings in moderation.
