Don't worry! About a week after surgery I was starving too.. and I talked to my doctor and he said if I feel like I can eat more, go for it. I was told not to worry so much about weight loss the first six weeks but to let myself heal. I was hard on myself at first because I thought Oh my gosh, I just ate way more than I thought I should be eating at that time.. but I could tell my body needed it and it was okay. You obviously don't want to make yourself sick by eating too much. I just did what my body let me do.

Some doctors want you to follow the diet pretty strictly, mine on the otherhand said to progress through the stages of food on my own. I think you are fine.. you don't want to be starving then you WILL overeat and be sorry afterwards.
