Strange hunger

Since my surgery last Friday, I have been wanting to eat every two hours. Isn't that strange? I wonder if it is my body's way of prompting me to eat more to help with healing?? Since protein encourages cell regeneration, I guess it is a possibility; however, I don't want to eat protein. I want to eat fruit, etc. Hmmm. . . strange. I haven't stepped on the scale. If anyone actually reads this and is wondering about surgery. . . keep in mind that bowel movements will never be the same. I have used Miralax for four days and NOTHING!
