Where You Hungry In The Beginning?

I'm wondering when the non-hunger is supposed to kick in? I know my hunger is less or I would never be able to sustain on less then 500 calories a day but I went back to work yesterday and both yesterday and today by the end of the work day I am super hungry. I am sipping mostly all day on water and a protein shake (usually finish the shake after 3 hours) on my lunch hour I start sipping on a thin creamy chicken soup (takes another 3 hours) then I have about 1 hour before I'm off work and in that hour i get so hungry. My stomach is literally growling (not gurgling from gas, though at times its doing that too). I'm sure this will fade when more solid foods enter into the equation but I kinda was under the illusion that real hunger was gone after being sleeved. Is it different for everyone? BTW, I do understand the difference between head hunger and real hunger as I lived with a lap-band for 4 years, this is definitely real hunger (though of course head hunger and cravings are high as well due to the full liquid only diet).
