I'm 15 mons. post op.. I think I'm eating WAY too much...

Hi.. I wanted to ask if any of you year post opies can eat as much as I do.. basically, am I normal?? <p> Now.. I cannot eat this much all the time, this 'appetite' comes and goes.. but I can eat almost 3 slices of pizza in one sitting. The other day, I had a ham and swiss sandwich, yes with both toasted breads, a full one, not half of a sandwich, with the big slices of bread too. ABout an hour and a half after that, I was HUNGRY again! I ate almost another whole sandwich, this time peanut butter/banana/honey. I was then satisfied (not stuffed) that by the time dinner came about, I just wasnt too hungry. Had a few bites of fish and veggies, and that was all I wanted. Sometimes, I cant eat a bite for a meal, just not hungry whatsoever, other times, I eat like a horse. I notice however, that this happens right before, during and after my monthly visiter. Could hormones play a role? <p> If so, am I damaging myself, my stoma, by eating this much? I NEVER EVER eat until im stuffed. Just satisfied, I eat slow(ish), never drink with my meals either. I would hate to gain the weight back bit by bit.. I havent gained (yet) but I have noticed one bad thing during this time of month... I THINK ABOUT FOOD A LOT.. TOO TOO TOO MUCH. "HMM, WHAT CAN I HAVE NOW???" And yes, bad choices sometimes too. Any suggestions?? Love ya, Annie PS... (I had a Proximal RNY).
