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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
