Just curious, sometimes when I'm not hungry and I'm focusing on drinking my water, I'll take a drink and then it's like when it hits my stomach, it triggers hunger (or something). Am I crazy? Does anyone else ever have this sensation when they drink water? What is that? I try to tell myself that it is NOT hunger, but my brain says otherwise. Why would I even have head hunger (or real hunger) from drinking water.

Same. I'm only 6 weeks post-op gastric bypass so I definitely don't have a lot of answers. But often when I drink I suddenly feel hungry. Whenever I eat I definitely feel thirsty. I'm working hard to meet my water goals (100 oz) and when I do I rarely feel hungry at all. My best guess is that a lot of the times that I felt hungry before I was actually thirsty. I think my brain has the signals mixed-up so I just focus on that water and eat when I should.

I have that every once in a while and then I realized I was truly hungry because I haven’t eaten in a while. It’s uaually when I am busy and don’t have access to food ASAP. I am never without water though so I consistently drink water. Maybe try to have a bite of something, protein related when you get those feelings and see if it gets better
