Recommended Posts

I'm almost a month post op this Friday and I actually get hungry, where as last week and since I've never gotten the feeling? Is my stomach stretched? I'm so confused why am I getting hungry

Apparently it is normal. I get hungry too and I'm out 7 weeks this Monday. But my nutritionist tells me all the time..."EAT only when you're hungry and stop when you're FULL" and those same words are written/typed all over the post op diet sheets they gave me. So when I feel hungry I eat, when I don't feel those hunger pains or start burping a lot I know I'm full. I may get hungry 2-3 hours later, but I fix another few bites of something to eat and eat it till full feeling. She tells me to eat 5-6 small meals a day and I get 3-4 small meals a day. But I only eat when I feel hungry.

The first month I never felt hungry. Now I get hungry just about the time I'm supposed to eat - the 3 - 4 hour mark from the last meal depending on how dense the Protein was at the meal before.
