There are a lot of hungry stomachs post op, including my own. A little tip I picked up is to wait 20 minutes, independent of your last eating time and recheck if you are still hungry. In the meanwhile, keep drinking water. As they say, thirst is often mistaken for hunger. I usually find a driving desire to eat something good ( fill in the blank) dissipates after 20 minutes or at least will be less of a nag. Hope this helps.

This is great advice. I find that what I think is hunger is sometimes just me thinking I SHOULD be hungry.

I eat by the clock period. Nothing in between nothing more or less.

I eat at 9, 1. 4 and dinner about 6 or 7 and if I am up late enough I will eat a jello at 10

Sounds good Sarah! Eating lean protein also goes a long way to keeping hunger at bay and to avoid grazing.
