How far out are you? I know some people feel hungry until they can start eating soft foods. I'm not sure where you're at on your journey.

I do get hungry sometimes, but only when I'm out of my daily routine and haven't eaten in a while. If I stick to my normal plan and eat something small every 2-3 hours, I don't feel hunger in between.

I think your doing great....my nut said I was grazing( eating every 2.5 hours) but I still lose weight and I don't eat junk.

My nut instructs me to eat every 2 to 3 hours - if I don't I would not get my Protein in or enough calories

The big difference between is cause your stomach is removed, so is grehlin producing "sensors"

Until I watched my swallow test I had no idea how high up my stomach was. Hey, I'm an IT nerd, not a medical one. Once I watched the swallow test and had some conversations with my nurse was also sleeved and 2 months post op, I learned something. What I had thought was my stomach rumbling, was really my small intestines. I was feeling my stomach empty into my small intestines. If you can become aware of this is really helps in a lot of ways. You can distinguish hunger pains from digestion and you can drink more fluids by being aware of when they are emptying into your stomach.

If I wasn't aware of with and able to watch it in real time on the screen with medical professionals explaining it to me, right now I would be confusing digestion with hunger.

The only time ever feel "hungry" in my stomach is when I am not drinking enough Water. If you are drinking your 64 oz plus of Water between meals, you will never be hungry because your stomach will always be full or close to it.
