I woke up in the recovery room STARVING . I am 18 days out and feel ZERO restriction. I even advanced diet stages faster so that maybe I’ll feel full but nothing. I am very concerned.

I am 1 week 9 days out. When I first came home, I felt so hungry several times. I was thinking, this is my life now. I'm always going to have a growly stomach. But then I read somewhere that our stomach still needs to learn our new signals for hunger. Also, we have head hunger. Our brain has to learn the new signals as well. So, I am keeping the prescribed diet until my body can learn to communicate. In addition, some of those hunger signals could be thirst signals. So, making sure I drink enough Water does help.
