im hungry and can barely eat

I am eating every 2 hrs or so and I am getting plenty of protein and when I eat and drink. I can't even eat a lot I get full so fast. I'm only 5weeks out. Is this normal? Eating and drinking every 2 hrs. Before I would go so much longer without eating or wanting to drink I would have to force myself. Please I need some in sight. Is this normal?Did anyone else experience this.

I'm 5 weeks also. I had my surgery the same day as you. To answer ur question, I do get full really fast with food which is why I'm still doing the bulk of my meals as Protein shakes so that I get an adequate amount of protein daily. Actually the only foods I can tolerate are eggs Beans yogurt and tuna. Everything else causes me to vomit and gets stuck in my chest.

I tried doing protein all day n that was even worst I really felt like I was starving like a hour after I stop drinking. Ugh I don't know what is going on with me. I'm happy I'm losing weight so well but I h8 the hunger feeling. I'll try the drinking to see if that's what it is

I know how u feel. I posted a thread about this a while back. If I dont eat every 2 or so hours, I get bad, painful cramps. It's crazy cuz before the surgery I was obsessed with overeating and now it feels the same. I just am tired of feeling hungry so often.

I sip on nectar protein drinks all day and eat 2 times lunch & dinner when I get up I have a protein drink with skim milk or soy milk with some protein like cookies & cream from Matrix or Nectar chocolate truffles or vanilla bean or Unijury protein I guess the key is sip the protein all day cause it has protein which for me doesn't give me head hunger I could just drink and not eat who would have thought a yogurt or sting cheese would be a meal

Thanks all for ur suggestions. I'm going out today to by the nectar protein because that will really push me drinking more protein instead of me trying to eat it. I will keep u all posted.
