Okay, so i am almost a month post-op and havent felt any hunger pains for the last month.  And is seems like this week i have been hungry. I mean feeling the hunger pains.  Isnt that too soon to start to feel hungry again?? I can eat a little more, but im still on the soft foods stage.  I can eat a whole yogurt (6 oz) and I thought that was a lot, too soon?  Anyone else notice themselves consuming more??  I hope my pouch isnt strechted out!!

I too could eat the Yogurt...just not in less than 20-30 minutes.

Yes, our pouch is about 2 oz (2 inches) by now so it's ok to eat more than the first few weeks.

I find I can eat 1 scramble egg which fills me up too.
Also, I can eat the Taco Bell pintos - n- cheese
just not both together. Usually have to put 1-2 hours between the two.

But, I can also eat 1 cup of egg flower soup in 15-20 minutes which is interesting contrast verses one scrambled egg. I figure the liquid passes quicker & the egg is much softer.

 I haven't had the hunger pains just the head hunger ....wanting to smell all the food my hubby orders but no desire to eat it and really I can't.   I'm 11 day post-op in pureed foods yet. Love vanilla yogurt can eat the whole container  6 oz but slowly ...30 minutes at least and that is because I draw it out anyway. I take a bite then put a load of laundry in and ect... working around house or what not then take a bite and so on.  Same with a cup of ff cottage cheese  and with scrambled eggs, which over time gets cold....yuck!   I guess because I take my time eating I can eat more.

I am so glad you brought up this subject.  I find almost clock work I am hungry sometimes even starving @ 3 hrs after meals.  I wonder if it is head hunger or blood sugars dropping since I am eating soooo much less than I use to.  Which ever, it helps me get my protein in.

Me too! I am almost one month out. I think mine is head hunger. If I am at work I don't really get hungry but I make myself eat. When I am home, I am watching the clock in anticipation of my next meal. I notice that some days I am hungrier than others too...
