hey everybody...long time no post. :001_tongue: i am doing good overall. i have a question, though. i am three months out from the surgery and i have noticed that my ability to eat / appetite seems to have increased. i am able to eat more than i have been. is this normal? i am soo scared of stretching out my stomach! i fear that i am eating too much. is it to be expected that i will be able to eat more than previously without feeling the crazy full feeling like i did before? i was able to eat a pita sandwich over the weekend---the WHOLE THING! that is a first for me since the surgery. am i being paranoid about this? any advice or words would be greatly appreciated!

This is just becoming an issue for me, I am just over 5 months out and I am getting hungry now, like a pp said, not the shaking I've gotta eat now, but I do get hungry. I have been eating a lot of stuff I probably shouldnt but I do eat a lot better than I ever did before. I am just sabotaging myslef, and I really need to get that in check.

At this point you still shouldn't have any real sensation of hunger. If you are feeling your appetite increasing it's probably either head hunger or more common, the carb monster. If you toss any refined carbs for 3 days, you'll start to feel better and that urge to eat will subside greatly.
