Hi....

I had my surgery 11/21/14....... I know I am hungry 2 hours after eating becaue I trained myself to eat small meals every 2 hours.

If you are hungry, it could be because you are not getting enough Protein in your meals. It also could be that you are actually thirsty. I sometimes will drink first, because your body does not know the difference between thirst and hunger.

Hope this helps.

Me too. I think it is a mixture of thirsty and lack of Protein. It is really hard to feel this way. Try boosting both. Drink 8oz of fluids before you even eat and get in a lil more Protein.

I think you both are right ! I do feel thirsty most of the time and I had a feeling i was not getting enough Protein. I maybe average 20 to 30 grams a day now. Before when i was losing i was averaging 60 to 70 grams a day and also drinking more Water. I need to get back to the way i was before ! Thank You both for youe advice! i will let you know what happens and if this is the case....Diane
