Hunger feeling every 2 hours

[ambernicole22 17]

I'm almost 2 months out I swear I'm hungry every two hours. Obviously it's two bites and done. And yes I took an anti acid medication.

I too feel hungry every 2 hours but I'm only over 2 weeks post op. What's up with that?

@@Stellastar85 generally in the early stages you miss eating. This is called head hunger. Part of it may be due to the lack of chewing. Chewing is a normal part of the digestive process. So the absence of chewing in the full liquid or puree stage is quite normal. This should go away as you enter the solid stage.

@@ambernicole22 at 2 months out, you are in solid foods. So this is different. After RNY gastric bypass surgery, I completely lost my hunger. So it was not hard to drop the weight when hunger was not constantly continuously gnawing at my bones. This hunger eventually returned after about a year but by then I was in Maintenance phase. But this loss of hunger varies by individual. Some individuals never experience this feeling. I wish I could be of more help.
