It would be more helpful if we had more information like when was your procedure, how much do you eat? What stage of the diet are you in? :)

Oh okay I see had the VSG on July 26,2012 on stage 4 almost 6 weeks out eating about 4oz of food I can eat retry much everything in stage 4 of course

It is normal to get a little hungry within a couple of hours. I do, but I also am looking into drinking more water now, because some of my hunger is thirst and I just didn't know how to recognize it. You can have a small snack in between meals to hold you over. My NUT told me to eat some fruit. So I do. Hang in there and CONGRATS on your successes! :)

Thank you Dorrie yes some people are saying they mistake hunger and sometimes it's acid or they're thirsty but what I'm doing is when I feel hungry I eat a banana or a protein shake ????

A little banana is good, the protein shake is the better choice. :) It will also count as a liquid so it does take care of thirst. I can only eat 1/2 a medium banana at one time. :)

It's probably thirst. I would drink a sugar free drink or snack on grapes or watermelon it helps a lot with the cravings

I'm 2 months out and still feel hungry, though I don't know if its 'hunger hunger' or 'head hunger'. Still learning.

I didn't want to get into the habit of snacking between meals, but my dietician said it was OK, as long as it wasn't junk food. I tend to have some multigrain crackers with laughing cow cheese. Haven't really had much in the way of fruit, just some strawberries or bananas in my morning muesli.

I do want to get some Protein shakes though, just gotta find the right one.
