Does the insane hunger ever subside?

I am over 8 months post op and really struggle with keeping my caloric intake under 1500. I read where post ops kick the weight loss back in gear with cutting out the snacks and sticking with just three meals. I absolutely feel like I'm starving to death between meals. I can eat a good volume at a meal (nothing like I could pre-op) and feel pretty good for an hour or so. But then I'm hungery again and feel like I MUST eat. I have done Adkins and understand the concept of carbs/protein etc, but am at the point where an all/primarily meat or egg meal would make me gag. I did try over the last three weeks just eating turkey for breakfast, about 3-4 oz. I still felt like I could eat a barn an hour later. I did Adkins 8 months lost 50lbs before surgery...I hated that diet so much. Can anyone who follows a more balanced diet (like the govt. pyramid) tell me wether or not the hunger between meals ever subsides. I can use will power (like I have dozens of times) to temporarily stop the snacking. Will my body eventually become content with just three normal meals? Will I ever live in peace from this hunger?? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Kim open RNY 7/17 -97
