I was just wondering if you all get hungry and if you do, when? I typically get hungry between bkfst/lunch and lunch/dinner (when I have my snacks). Also, is everyone eating snacks or just sticking to the 3 squares a day? Thanks, have a great hump day! Denise

I most definately get hungry! I'm almost always hungry when I wake up, and then I get hungry around 10 (when I eat my snack). I'm not usually hungry when its lunch time, but I eat anyway, and then I get hungry again around 4. I eat my 3 meals, plus 1-2 snacks.

You bet your bippy! I get hungry around 9:30 and again around 2. Usually I feel hungry about 3 hours after I eat. No matter how much water I drink. But if I ignore the hunger, it goes away, unlike before surgery. I like having my snacks.

Thank you so much for posting this. I started getting hungry recently and I was totally freaked out! I'm glad it's not just me! I eat three meals a day and three snacks. My snacks are my protein shakes. Lizzie

I have felt hungry from 1 week post op. I thought this was strange as I heard you don't feel hunger for 6 months. Well, Bull-Pucky! I am hungry, but not like before surgery. I can usually get rid of it with a small snack or mint. I eat 3 meals a day and 1 evening snack.

Heck yeah , I get hungry !!!! I eat usually 3 meals a day but if I am hankering I grab a snack and that is usually in the mid afternoon right after work ! I get hungry between lunch and dinner , but morning's I eat just for the nutrition or because you could say "I should !" I don't get hungry morning's ! and Carolee

I will feel some hunger occasionally but not a whole lot. I think the constant fluid drinking helps. My doctor is adamant 3 meals 4oz per meal, well that did not last, my pouch is bigger as I had the RNY after I had the lap-band a few years ago and I am eating about 1 cup to 1-1/4 at a time. I do snac****asionally and it is usually some trail mix without the candy only nuts and raisins as I need the fiber. I am always constipated which I never expected I thought it would be the opposite eat and then poop. I drink fluid all day and find that it is almost impossinble to not take a sip of tea after a meal, and I often don't wait the full 30 min but do try my best. I am losing very slow but trust that it will happen as long as I make the right choices. I thought I would be fine with a banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter for my lunch, first time to do that. I won't be doing that again, I think it was the closest I have come to suffering dumping.
