I get a feeling of fullness, but it doesn't seem to last- at least the hunger is there. I'm pretty sure it's psychological, because sometimes I am PB-ing and yet craving more food...

So is there a time set on how long I wait between meals? I've seen between 3 and 4 hours- but that seems pretty often.

Just Curious.

Oh- and I'm not a binge-eater. I do the 5-6 oz and eat in the right order... I just don't lose that desire to eat. But I don't want to push it or stretch out my pouch.

I only have 25 pounds left to lose... so I'm kind of waiting for my "sweet spot" without having food get stuck (just had .5 cc's removed because of this- I can't get it just right- it's either too much or not enough- argh!)

Sometimes thirst is confused for hunger. Are you drinking 64oz or more a day?

Wow- I didn't even think of that! Yes, i am drinking enough, but perhaps the question I should be asking is how soon after eating can I drink? Maybe I am washing out all of the food?

You should wait at least an hour - longer if possible.I think between 3 - 4 hours is achievable , longer than this is hard although some seem to manage it.

Have a planned healthy snack mid afternoon. And if you are feeling hungry sooner than you should have a drink. it helps to fill you up even though it is only temporary.

I should correct my post above. An hour or longer after eating to drink.

3 - 4 hours between meals.

When I reread what I posted it reads as though I think 3 - 4 hours without a drink is OK!
