One month today!

my surgery was exactly one month from today and I'm down 37.5 lbs! I've noticed the last couple days I've started to actually get a hungry feeling back. Not anything drastic but just a small "I could a bite or two of something" feeling. I'm assuming that's normal? My worse fear is that my stomach will expand and I'll be a failure. Just kinda my thoughts of the day. Any advice, support or suggestions are highly encouraged! :) 

Wow, that's a terrific start!  Are you taking a PPI like omeprazole or Nexium?  Sometimes acid feels like hunger, though I must say I definitely feel hunger and felt it after a few months.  Don't start grazing, it's not a good habit.  My parents are big grazers and they've put a lot of weight back on.

I haven't been taking those medicines. When I left the hospital they told me to take as needed. I've only head heartburn maybe twice my whole life, and haven't had any since surgery. I've been pretty lucky I guess
