Is It Normal To Feel Super Hungry After Eating 2-3 Hrs



Recommended Posts

It would be more helpful if we had more information like when was your procedure, how much do you eat? What stage of the diet are you in? :)

It is normal to get a little hungry within a couple of hours. I do, but I also am looking into drinking more Water now, because some of my hunger is thirst and I just didn't know how to recognize it. You can have a small snack in between meals to hold you over. My NUT told me to eat some fruit. So I do. Hang in there and CONGRATS on your successes! :)

A little banana is good, the Protein Shake is the better choice. :) It will also count as a liquid so it does take care of thirst. I can only eat 1/2 a medium banana at one time. :)

I'm 2 months out and still feel hungry, though I don't know if its 'hunger hunger' or 'head hunger'. Still learning.

I didn't want to get into the habit of snacking between meals, but my dietician said it was OK, as long as it wasn't junk food. I tend to have some multigrain crackers with laughing cow cheese. Haven't really had much in the way of fruit, just some strawberries or bananas in my morning muesli.

I do want to get some Protein shakes though, just gotta find the right one.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
