RedSwampLily 6 Posted December 15, 2016 Apparently it is normal. I get hungry too and I'm out 7 weeks this Monday. But my nutritionist tells me all the time..."EAT only when you're hungry and stop when you're FULL" and those same words are written/typed all over the post op diet sheets they gave me. So when I feel hungry I eat, when I don't feel those hunger pains or start burping a lot I know I'm full. I may get hungry 2-3 hours later, but I fix another few bites of something to eat and eat it till full feeling. She tells me to eat 5-6 small meals a day and I get 3-4 small meals a day. But I only eat when I feel hungry. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adriant 109 Posted December 15, 2016 Drink Water and after 30 mins have a snack, you body and mind is changing so always try liquid's first unless it's time to eat. Sent from my HTC 10 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airstream88 361 Posted December 15, 2016 The first month I never felt hungry. Now I get hungry just about the time I'm supposed to eat - the 3 - 4 hour mark from the last meal depending on how dense the Protein was at the meal before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
