How Often Do You Get Hungry?



Recommended Posts

Just curious how often you get hungry. I am two weeks out today, and it seems that I get hungry about every 2-3 hours. I ate my lunch at noon (1/4 cup of cottage cheese) and my stomach is growling for more food (almost three hours later). How often do you find yourself needing to eat?

I don't go more than 3 hours without eating something... I'm rarely hungry.. when I'm really hungry or feeling empty....it's usually because I'm not drinking enough water...

The only time of the day I seem to feel actual hunger "pains" is late at night. Then again, I used to snack right before bed. Now when I'm lying in bed, I start thinking about what I want to eat tomorrow or buy at the grocery store next shopping trip. It's not that bad, but it's annoying.

The first few weeks I was hungry about every 2 hours or so. Now I'm 8 weeks out and for the past 2 weeks my hunger is almost gone. Sometimes I feel hungry around lunch time but I try to keep myself on a schedule. I usually eat 6 small meals or Snacks a day so hunger isn't usually a problem.

I will be 4 weeks out tomorrow and I still have no sensation of hunger. I do eat and the only sensation I know is full - I get full so quickly. I also sometimes hiccup and get a runny nose...is that strange (when im full)?

I have to say I dont actually get "hungry" like I used to, it is weird. I just keep on my schedule of 3 meals a day with 2-3 Snacks in between. I may get head hungry occasionally but I just go do something to get my mind off it an it works.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
