So Maggie is always hungry - she always says she is hungry. I try to offer her water or milk first to see if he is really just thirsty but that doesn't help usually. She eats breakfast, then snacks while at daycare. She eats lunch at daycare, I pick her up from daycare and she eats another lunch - because she is hungry. Then she takes a nap or rest followed by more food, then dinner around 5:30-6:00ish. Then she is hungry before bed again at 7:30ish.
She often comes up to me and says, "I'm hungry." To which I respond, "I'm shocked." I am not feeding her crap - she is eating fruits, vegetables, whole grain sandwiches (PB&J), veggie chips - these are usually her snacks.
I thought she was maybe going through a growth spurt when this started but it has been going on for months. Is this normal?
Any advice? Snack Ideas?

On the weekends when we get in the car, after a few minutes I'll hear "Mommy, I'm hungry in my pack-pack!" Then she'll tell me she wants cheese or whatever. This can happen right after having a meal though. So I know she's not really hungry. She just expects food 5 minutes after getting into the car!
I test her out with less favored options to see if she's really hungry. Like raisins. She likes them but they're not a first choice. So if she'll take them, I know she really is hungry
I just turned 50 and fabulous!!! Enjoying life with my amazing family!!

She will have surgery either after that or it they decide she doesn't have sleep apnea (which would surprise myself and 3 dr.'s) then she would wait until she is 3 to have the surgery.
Pray that they remove them soon!!
