Van, how many calories are you taking in each day? Many here suggest not dipping below 1000 cal/day, and aiming more for 1200/day. Going below these numbers can make your body go into a starvation mode where it burns muscle for fuel instead of fat, if it burns much of anything at all. It will slow down weight loss efforts and really screw up the body composition to do this. Are you exercising too? Eat something, even if you can only manage small snacks spread throughout the day, and get moving somehow.

AS for hunger, some here are breaking a pill in half; others drink 1/2 their weight in water to help fill the stomach, or supplement their diet with 50mg of 5-htp twice a day, or all three.

I take my phen around 10 am every day, drink 140 oz of water, and started taking the 5-htp at night and slowly working up to 50mg at night and 50mg in the morning with the phen. It's a natural supplement, and there's some good info on it on the 'my experience with phentermine' board, posted by dumbfox.
