Can exercise make you hungrier than normal?

I just started to go to the gym and I have been swimming every day for about an hour. Trouble is, I am also eating more. The weight is coming off faster, but I am afraid that the pouch or stoma will get enlarged. Am I worrying over nothing? Is this normal?
