Always hungry

I’ve gone down a whole pant size since my surgery 10/23 haven’t been weighing myself cause I’m scared it will get to my head so I’m fine with that,

But I am ALWAYSSSSS HUNGRY, I drink water or will eat a yogurt. If I do eat a small meal it lasts for about 3 hours before I’m hungry again, how normal is this, and does anyone have any meal ideas that last or is this just because I’m still in early healing stages?

My nutritionist says plan to eat every 3-4 hours. So I alternate- soft moist protein, 3 hours later protein supplement, 3 hours later soft moist protein. Breaks up my meals and keeps me going. Are you keeping track of what and how much you are eating?

Yess because I’m hungry so much I’m scared to eat an actual meal so I just stick to the Greek yogurts And I may eat a piece of fish or chicken but that’s honestly it.


I felt like I was too hungry - too frequently until I was finally able to move past all of the soft phases.

I find that if I start with dense protein, then I feel full quickly.

It sometimes means adding more protein. For example, when my family has spaghetti, I will eat the meat sauce with either spaghetti squash or zoodles. I found very quickly that I had to add small turkey meatballs (just a couple) and be sure to eat those first.

I keep small meatballs and cooked chicken frozen, and ready to go. If I don't lead with lean dense protein, then I frequently feel full so quickly that I cannot finish.

I have also found that meal planning/prepping, and measuring food ahead of time helps a lot.

The Yogurt will fill you up less than a dense protein.
