Hi Jess-
In the very beginning, I got what I called "head hunger" because I thought I was hungry all the time but when I put something in my mouth, I realized I wasn't hungry at all. You were used to eating large meals with lotsa calories and now ur down to just about nothing. It eventually got better and I had to remind myself to eat at mealtimes. In the meantime, try chewing SF bubblegum or suck on SF hard candies if your doctor ok's it, I even resorted to chewing on straws when I didnt have either around. I found if I had something to do with my mouth, I forgot my hunger pains.
