Am I hungry?

I'm not sure if I'm hungry or not. This is the strangest feeling of all. It is as if Dr.Landerholm actually took my stomach OUT instead of placing a band around it; I know that this is due to the swelling of the stomach (poor thing) and that's why I feel "full". But it feels very weird, because I know I should eat and drink but I have no physiological drive to to do. Sounds funny, I know...like last night I was in bed, getting cozy with the electric heating pad, and my stomach was growling like crazy, but I didn't feel hungry, I just heard the noises! Very odd. Since my sense of hunger/thirst has been pretty much nil, I've been making myself eat three small (small, like would have been less than a snack a week ago) meals (all liquid at this point) plus sipping water in between meals. So basically, I'm getting to know this new body again..this body that is mine, I think.
