Hungry much more frequently -- is this normal?

blogs/blog-0718035001358963668.jpgI was banded on Dec 20, 2012. In the past 5 days, I have noticed that I am getting hungry much quicker than I used to. I say about every 2 1/2 hours. That was not the case until this past week. Is this normal? I have my first month appointment on Jan 30th and this will be my first opportunity for a fill. Comments please . . .

Are you getting enough protien? atleast 90g per day? And are you drinking enough fluid, sometimes when we think we are hungry we are actually needing fluids. Make sure it's sugar free.

When in doubt call your dietitian. That person is always a great help. I am able to email mine and get answers within 24 hours.

Good luck.

I got banded 12/21 and felt the same way last week.

I was told this is normal as you feel better.

I drank more water and used Jello sugar free pudding and jello for those inbetween hungry times.

Also,grab a slice of turkey when you feel hungry,it helps.
