hungry every 2-3 hours post op.

I'm 1 month post op, on solid foods now, but I feel hungry every 2-3 hours. Is this normal,or am I not eating enough when I do eat? I always eat high protein foods. I can't imagine that eating every two three hours would be good.

I just talked with my nutritionist about this! I feel the same way and am close to 3 months out now... She said it's because my new tummy cannot hold very much food and I'm eating such a small amount at each meal now. She also said not to worry. I thought I was becoming one of those "grazers" that I keep reading about! She told me to just eat a healthy breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 2 snacks each day that are high in protein, low in carbs and calories... and space them every 2-3 hours :) Good luck to you!

My nut said the same thing. Every 2-3 hours using 3 meals and a snack in between.

My problem is my meals are so small I can't tell what should really be a snack and what should be a meal.

I'm the same way! Lol

Are you waiting 30 min before you drink?

I have lost over 65+ pounds by eating like this. You will do fine.
