Is this normal?

I actually do feel hungry! It seems like most here don't ever feel hungry, and even get a sick feeling after eating. I ate my 4 oz of pureed chicken and I was just barely in the comfortable zone lol I could have probably had something else (but I didn't).

Anyone else go through this too?

I was starving from the second day after surgery. I am two weeks out and am adjusting but I still get very hungry. I do not have nausea after drinking or eating. I am just ready for real food....at least a taste.

Me too! Hungry as soon as I wake up I the morning just like before surgery! 9 days out and desperate for real food!

Are you taking your PPI in the morning? That had made a dramatic difference for me.

Same here I'm post op 6 days. I started to get hungry since yesterday! I'm so scared of going back to square one after all this sacrifice.

I thought that I was feeling hunger several days after surgery. In hind sight, I think it was just new, rumbley feelings I was having. Plus, I was so sick of sweet things.....jello, pudding, pro shakes. All put together, it felt like hunger. Try not stress out. You'll adjust to the new feelings, and they will subside. I'm eight months out and never hungry.

At least not physically. I get mental hunger....which is what got me here in the first place. And I also have times when I realize I need to eat. My body needs it, but I'm not hungry.

I am 9 days out and I'm still very confused is it hunger, pain, or I over ate not sure how to tell the difference its just uncomfortable walking helps me it seams to get things moving. If that helps at all so looking forward to actually hitting something....

If I'm awake...I'm hungry. I'm 13 days out, I crave the weirdest things. cheese mostly. I've grown tired of sugary "foods"...I want salty, and I want substance. It took a while to figure out all these new gut gurgles, but I'm pretty sure I've got it. I'm just anxious to get out of this phase, my patience has grown thin over this 7 month journey, but the results are well worth it!
