I am pre op but just talked about this with my NUT today. She said put yourself on a schedule that first month. Get the water in, use protein shakes to get protein in, put protein powder or pb 2 in everything and then if anything else fits, go for it.

I'm more than a year out and I can honestly say I never feel 'true' hunger. I might want something but I realize my want is just head hunger. I do somewhat on a schedule and try not to go more than 4-5 hours without eating. If I'm going to have a late diner I make sure I have some fruit or yogurt at about the 2 hour mark. I learned from people here not to allow myself to get truly hungry. If you don't feel hunger don't worry about it.. celebrate it instead.
I was just worrying about this today --I had my sleeve a week after you did. I don't eat much at every meal--I had 3 small shrimp and a bite of green tomato..I get full quickly and am simply not hungry. I wondered if my sleeve was too tight as well..

Ive been thinking ( 4.5 months out ) that my sleeve is getting smaller ! Or maybe its the different things Im eating like veg dont seem to go down so well. I also think as its more established in my routine now and I sometimes forget my tiny teeny tummy, that i gollop my food down too fast and dont chew it properly ! Lol. Of course it then reminds me very quickly.
Hope yours is working well and what a great weight loss ! You look amazing in that purple dress in your avatar pic
