Getting hungry!

Sullie06, what kind of Snacks do you eat throughout the day?

I talked to my surgeon about always being hungry, and he said I'm not taking in enough Protein, so I've been making sure I get plenty of protein. If I do get hungry then I eat something high in protein. I did buy some of the high protein Snacks from the Bariatric store, and that helps too. What's weird is that lately I just haven't even been able to finish a yogurt or my jello(have to put my antacid broken up in the jello), and it's getting difficult again to get in two Protein Shakes a day. I just seem to get full before I finish one. Also makes it hard to get in my Water intake doing the 30/30 rule. How do most people on here eat and drink their water throughout the day? Do y'all try to have set meals, and when it's not mealtime you are drinking water, or what? I'm just starting phase 3. Thanks!

I'm 3 weeks out and I totally am hungry. It's not "head hunger" either. It's real. But, it's not like pre-op. It's easier to curb just by drinking something. I haven't gotten into many foods yet but I suppose once you are eating solids it should help some because there are more choices. I've been eating a lot of SF stuff but I am so torn because I don't want to be eating all the artificial sugar crap. I try to buy things with stevia or Monk Fruit but it's limited. It's frustrating.
