Still Hungry!

[nanno90 0]

Im 3 almost 4 week post op and I still eat a lot. Its like the only thing thats changed is now instead of being able to eat a lot in one sitting I eat a little in one setting but its every half hour! Why am I so hungry? I feel like I was better off before because now im eating all day

It sounds as if you are having mental hunger pangs rather than actual hunger pangs. I am 8 days out and for the first 6 I experienced the same, although I was in hospital for all that time and there was no option but to wait on meal times. Try and find something to do, or take on more water/liquid to settle or work through them, good luck xx

It could be either you need to drink more or you are not getting enough protein...or a combination of both. I'm 15 days out, I don't get as much hungry as my energy starts to bottom out and I know I need something.

Morning...

You eat every 1/2 hour? wow, isn't that too much? When I had my surgery on 11/21/14, I was told to eat only 2 tsp every 2 hours and no Water 30 minutes before or after a meal. But I was to also drink Water every 10 minutes (taking 2 sips).

Maybe if try a different way of eatting it may make you less hungry.

By "eat" do you mean one or two bites?

Or are you literally eating a meal every half hour?
