hunger schedule

So I am fully aware that I will eat fewer calories in a day if I wait until I'm hungry to eat anything (often 2 or 3pm in the afternoon) but as soon as I eat anything (it could be three almonds or a full breakfast) I will start getting hungry 2 hrs later and continue to get hungry again every 2 hrs on average until I finally go to bed.

Anyone else have this issue before lap band? If so how did the surgery effect your "hunger schedule"?

    I am 9 months post-RNY..........and I get hungry every 2 hours. In fact, I eat every 2 hours. I eat way more frequently now than I did pre-surgery, however, I eat significantly less.....and eat very very healthy!

    The two hour eating schedule is what I was told to stick to from my dietitian and doctor as well. If I don't eat every few hours and only rely on my appetite I also may eat alot and other I may not eat much at all, it does seem counter-intuitive to eat often regardless of hunger but I see the point of it since I maintain the weight loss I'm working on adapting to this new way of eating.
