Ghrelin is one of the hunger hormones made in the stomach, that works moment by moment. It signals the brain to eat, usually about four hours after the previous meal. So just a few hours after you eat, the ghrelin level goes from low to high.
The gut hormones, on the other hand, signal fullness. So as the food leaves the stomach and goes into the intestine, it causes another set of hormones that are in the distal part of the small bowel to release hormones called incretions, and they go to the brain and say you have eaten, you are full, stop eating.
