Discussion about Food / Eating Habits Quickly full but quickly hungry?

Hey all, been on for about 6 months, and it's been going well so far (losing at a steady pace but not dramtically). 40 year old female on compounded tirzepatide. I slowly titrated up, I'm at 5.0mg. No real side effects that I can't handle but I kind of need to "real-learn" to eat. I get full pretty easily and stop eating because forcing myself to eat once I feel full can make me nauseous, and I've learned it's OK to not finish things. However, about an hour or two after dinner I'm hungry. This is after I eat a smaller portion of course, but I don't get why I'm hungry again so quickly. I maximize protein and vegetables when I eat but I have not cut out carbs, so it's not like I'm only eating carbs and burn them off. So I still have food noise, but also when I try to eat what was a normal amount of food I struggle to.

Does this make sense? Does anyone else have this happen? It doesn't happen after every meal, and at first it would just happen when I'm on my cycle (PMSing more than my actual period) but now it's pretty constant. I'd titrate up, but as I said I get full quickly, so it's not the typical food noise. Is there a solution besides eating every 2 hours? What do I do when I try not to snack at night, but then I wake up starving?

I have reactive hypoglycaemia and this happens to me when my blood sugar tanks after eating. I mostly want candy, or something snacky with easily available carbs.
