Should I be this hungry one week post op

Five days after my surgery I had a sudden feeling of ease in my new stomach. No more tightness or pain. But, a very obvious feeling of hunger. I am sticking to 'the diet', but I am to the point of fatigue, headache, nausia, dizziness, irritablity and nervousness. I am hungry all the time and only stop myself from ingesting more food because I know I shouldn't, not because I can't. I have experimented with water, and I basicly have no limit! I went in for my one week check (with my surgeons P.A.) Of course, I told him everything I am saying now. He relayed this information to the surgeon and the response was. Stick to the diet. Heck, if I could stick to a diet I would never had the surgery in the first place! He said he will not discuss an adjustment for at least 6 weeks. Though I am loosing weight, it is not worth the side effects of this NEW diet. By the time my Dr. is willing to discuss a band adjustment, I am confident I will have gained back my weight. I am very disapointed and very frustrated. My question is, is this normal? Is that why my Dr. is being so lax about what I am stressing over?
