I am at 5 weeks post surgeryi

and doing well, but the last 4 or 5days I have been so hungry and my stomach is growling alot. Is this typical?

@@nzlmx6 yes this can be a very common thing. A lot of us don't feel any physical hunger post op but some of us start experiencing hunger pains sooner out. Are you on any kind of PPI or acid reducer? If not, you might want to bring up the hunger feelings with your surgeon. It could be acid and it can feel very similar to hunger pains. Or it could be you're actually hungry. I'm not sure where you are as far as your post op eating plan, so perhaps discuss this issue with your nutritionist as well. Good luck!
