4 months post-op RNY..it seems I'm hungry about 1 & 1/2 or 2 hrs. after I eat normal?

I don't know if I'm just being hard on myself or what. I'm 4 months post-op RNY. It seems when I eat lunch for example I am hungry about 1 & 1/2 or 2 hrs. later. Is this normal? Should I be eating 5-6 small meals a day this early out? Also this snacking stuff is killing me. Don't get me wrong it is a lot better than I was before I had the surgery obviously & sometimes I make better choices than I did before but still. For example, someone brought potato chips into work. I CANNOT stay away from them!!! I almost wish I wouldn't have known they are there. I bring more reasonable things to snack on in for myself to try to stay away from the chips. But more often than not I'm in the chips. That is just one of many examples. I am still losing weight but I don't want to get into old bad habbits again. It seems I eat things just because they are there or if I'm bored. How can I stop this?
