Is it normal for me to get hungry 2weeks after surgery

Oh Yes! But this is your head talking, not your stomach. Arm yourself with ready to reach Protein and snacks: tuna, Yogurt, cottage cheese, Almonds, mozzarella cheese, popsicles, Beef jerkies....

I feel I get really hungry after dinner when we sit and start watching TV. I give in to my head hunger. Instead of eating another slice of pizza though, I'll have a banana instead. Exchanged Hershey's chocolate bar with sugar free Russell Stover bit size chocolates. INstead of Ice cream, I'll have a sugar free pudding...

I also try to eat between 800-1,200 calories daily.

Good Luck. You got this!

Well sure, you're human. A lot of it, though, is "head hunger" and not stomach hunger, so try to watch out for the difference. It's tricky. The surgery helps the hunger be less demanding, but it's still going to be there.
