3 1/2 weeks post op

[meggieo79 3]

Hi! I am about 3.5 weeks post op and doing well! I am just concerned about my hunger/fullness. I am eating like every 3hrs and am truly hungry at that time. I begin to feel nauseous and stomach growls etc... I'll have say 1/3 cup of cottage cheese or a few bites of chicken salad. Is this normal? I sometimes feel or question if I'm eating too much? And wonder if this hunger is normal. I see so many posts where ppl say they have absolute no hunger. Thanks!!

I'm almost 2 weeks out and wonder if I'm eating enough. I eat 3 times daily, getting about 400 calories and 70 grams of Protein. Thinking of increasing the frequency due to hunger. And when I get hungry all I want is a cheesesteak.

How much do you eat?

Hi! Well I have been having a whole Greek yogurt in the am, then like 1/3 cup of cottage cheese, then a few hrs later 2 tbsp of chicken salad, then a cheese stick then finally a meatball? That's what I had today-I just feel like that's a lot for 3 weeks out? And it fills me up but no lie 2hrs later and I'm hungry :-/
