Why am I staying so hungry?

I am 2 1/2 weeks post-op and I am so hungry. Just this week I got to add creamed soups and a baked potato, but it is not helping with the hunger! I am getting plenty to drink, also drinking 2 protein shakes a day...the nurse said that she can't believe that I can drink the whole shake. I am not supposed to eat over 3 oz. at each meal, but I don't even feel like I have had anything to eat after that! I woke up from surgery like this! As a matter of fact, before my surgery I was never able to feel full. What is the matter with me and how far can you push it before you stretch your new pouch?
