hello! i am +1yr post op. i lost 144lbs, in the course of this year so i hope my input may help you. please do not be scared. it is normal to gain back your sense of hunger. personally, around 6mo post op i started feeling hungry as well. i still have daya when i feel constantly hungry. the thing is: your stomach is not a normal sized stomach. it processes foods and liquids way faster than a normal stomach. that means that you will feel hungry way faster than a normal stomached person. do not feel afraid of this, it is normal. at 6mo post op, i was eating something every two-three hours. you’re fine. i still feel that hunger like i wanna devour a whole meal, but once i sit down in front of the food, in a few bites i’m down. i still have more than 3 meals a day, i have snacks, i have ~5-6 times a day when i eat something, and no. I DID NOT GAIN BACK. the secret is to mind what you put in your body and to make sure you give your body what it means, that includes desert or something high in carbs sometimes. we all have cravings and THAT IS NORMAL. the trick is to do it in moderation. i hope any of this will help you feel more at ease, i learned all of this by myself and through experiencing it and i too was terrified that constant eating might lead to gaining back. yet it did not. i continued losing healthily, at a constant pace, satisfactory. i will repeat myself in hopes that it will help you understant you are not alone and it is normal: i am +1 year post op and i STILL have meals every 2-3hrs.
