I am one week post-op and find myself consistently hungry...

I am so confused right now. I am one week post-op RNY and my doc has me on puree/soft foods. My diet basically consists of blended soups. blended tuna, sf/ff pudding, soft scrambled eggs, ricotta cheese. I serve myself approximately 2-4 oz of food at each sitting and can eat it it all. I eat about 4 times per day, always making sure to stretch each meal to 30 minutes. I don't drink before, during or after meals and have absolutely no problem taking in generous amounts of water. I think I have only felt "full" one time since this surgery and feel like I should feel it all the time. But, I always seem to have this hunger gnawing at me - especially DURING meals. I am getting very depressed over this. Anyone have a similar experince in the beginning? I'm hoping once on solid foods, it'll change. :(
