Hungry Every Two Hours

[gamergirl 4,610]

That seems to be the norm. I'm six weeks out yesterday and have my Vitamin blood work today with my doctor. I'm going to ask him how many calories I should be eating because my goal in MFP is 850 and it seems like it isn't difficult to get there with normal food, and that worries me. I'll share what he says, of course with the caveat that everyone should listen to their own doctor and not necessarily what mine says.

Cubs when I look at your MFP though, your net calorie intake (after subtracting exercise calories burned) is under 850 though yes? So I'd ask the doc about that too since you do exercise a lot for someone as soon out of surgery as you are.

Also men...don't get me started about what they can eat and still lose

Yeah, it is below that after exercise. I thought that it was more appropriate to not to go over the calorie goal then anything you burn working out was just icing on the cake. Maybe not though now that I think about it.

FWIW, my doctor told me today that I would be fine eating up to 1,000 calories a day as that should still result in me losing 1 pound every two days (or so).

I have the same problem. I can also eat a lot more than they said I would be able to. I dont feel full or even satisfied. I feel like something must be wrong with me!

OMG I'm 5 weeks post op and IM ALWAYS HUNGRY!!! If I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I don't go to sleep right away I can't sleep because of the hunger pain!!!! I asked my surgeon and he said it was normal and better for my metabolism to eat every 2 hours. The most annoying part is that I have to pack a lunch pack every where I go. And the hunger pains are magnified 10 fold!
