 |  Hunger
I am 15 months post RNY and I am starting to feel hungry often. I have not had this happen to me before but it has started over the past 3 weeks or so. My nutritionist said that this is normal but to me it is very scary. Is this happening to anyone else?

I'm just over 12 months out...and I get hungry on occasion...nothing earth shattering, but hungry all the same....normally, my hunger is WAY bigger than my stomach!!  It seems when I'm most hungry, I can barely eat 3 or 4 bites....the tool is still working!!

i think you and i had surgery around the same time. i notice if i am not on top of my fluids i do get hungry but like kath said its NOTHING like pre-op. i notice whenever somethine wierd happends is because i am "off" where my routine is concerned. take a look at your fluids, your protein intake, and anything that may be stressing you. thats important too. and also hang around here. it helps keep you ontrack when you stay in contact with others

Definitely what these other ladies said. I do experience some hunger (but NOTHING like before) and it's usually when I'm thirsty, not hungery. But if it is real hunger, I can take a couple bites and I'm done. That's the good news!

I have noticed since my surgery that when I am hungry, it isn't "I am going to faint in 10 minutes if I don't eat NOW" kind of hunger.
I can make more mindful eating choices because I am not so famished. I can choose to eat or not now...there was not an option before.

Often thirst get confused for hunger..plus if carbs have been sneaking back in..whammo! the 'hunger' feelings do too.
Push the water, try and grab water or liquid first before putting food in. Then see if you really are hungry.
Another thing, if you have upped exercise levels or increased any need there you probably need to eat small and more OFTEN drinking plenty in between.

I am 4 yrs out......I experience hunger just like before, now I just know what to eat to stop it. If you start now eating some portein when your hungry and making wise choices it will equip you for when your hunger is "back to normal"
WLS is a great tool.......but the farther out you get the more "normal" you feel.
