So i am offically 19 months away from surgery...and yes i have lost a lot of weight so far so i am grateful...but latley im noticing im eating more then usual...i dont get full off a couple bites..i can eat what seems to me pretty normally..and then im hungry a couple hrs later?

any suggestions of what the deal is or how to ward off the the hunger?

I think what you're experiencing is pretty normal...and pretty scarey huh? I remember being faced with the same thing, check out this link, when I follow the advice in this article I can easily go 5 hours between meals...and eat a normal pouch size at meal times.  Take a look and give it a try :).  In fact, it works SO well I know if I were to follow it daily and make lean low calorie high protein choices at meal time I would DEFINATELY lose weight! cause the pouch really still works, and this shows you how to work it,  so you eat less through the day without feeling hungry.   The real key is NOT drinking anything for 2 hrs after eating.

good luck, let me know if it's helpeful for you.

I noticed at about a year out I all of the sudden could eat more and it was scary. Now at 3.5yrs post op I eat like a "normal" person being that if you saw me out to dinner you would never guess that I had wls~you might just assume that I was on a healthy eating plan, but I can eat quite a bit of food now at times. For me, eating 6 mini meals daily is a must, otherwise I get too hungry in between and my blood sugar goes thru too  many highs and lows. I'm also sure to get in plenty of liquids in between meals, that way I know its true hunger and not thrist hunger. Head hunger is a whole different story, LOL! I also keeps healthy snacks around and prepared so if I get hungry for something, I can make it a good something instead of reaching for the quick fix which is generally junk food.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
