very scared I have stretched my pouch
I am at 7 weeks post op now and I am waking up hungry in the morning. I usually have a protein shake and by noon I am starving. I have been on a wendy's chili kick I get a cup of their chili and have about half for lunch and the other half at dinner but dinner is around 6 at night. I have been adding fruit to my lunch and dinner meals but it just seems like I could eat everything in site. WHAT IS GOING ON??????? I have been able to drinks liquids down a little bit easier, I am drinking mostly watered down crystal light, for some reason just plain water burns in my stomach. Did I stretch my pouch or did it come undone. Has anyone who is only out this far or around this far have the same thing happening?
no I think we always go thru little growth spurts. suddenly realizing you can eat more then you used to.
I am hungry all the time now ! lol. ok not all the time, but way more then I was at first. usually a piece or two of string cheese or a handful of pretzels and I am filed up, but I can feel it! if you get really really worried, contact your doc, but I think you sound fine!

Leslea,
Ditto on what Judi said about contacting your doc. If you have questions at only 7 weeks out, you should call to see what your doctor thinks. I am 3 months out and still do not feel hungry - just experience "head hunger" where I think that I need to eat. Then again, I know someone else that had surgery around the same time that I did and she was hungry soon after. Double-check with your doctor.
God bless,
Andrea
