Hunger question

Do you eat when hungry or do you wait for your body to tell you it's time to eat?

I don't get hungry anymore,so if I waited for that I would starve.

I eat a high protein meal/snack every 2-3 hrs,on a set schedule.

Hi,
What way, other than hunger, does your body tell you it is time to eat?

I have my meals at 9:00 am    1:00 pm   then    6:00 pm.
Liquids in between.  At the slightest feel of pressure inside..   I AM DONE. 
I have not had a nausea or pains doing this.

What's the difference?

Do you mean do I eat when my body is hungry or my head is hungry?

My answer is neither; I eat according to schedule.

depends on if they took out a lot of your grehlin, the hormone that makes you hungry.  Most of mine stayed in and I was starving right out of surgery.  Most others dont feel hungry. 
If you do get hunger pangs, try to get your food intake on a schedule.  I have a protein coffee on my way to work, 2.5 hours later I eat greek yogurt with asst stuff in it, I eat lunch about noon, then another protein drink about 3.  In between I follow the guidelines with my water.  Work out what is best for you.  If you wait for those pangs and arent prepared, you could eat the ez thing which may not be good for you or your new pouch.  Good luck!
