Zak,
I get hungry in the sense that I feel weak and shakey if I don't eat a little every few hours. But I can never eat much at a time (big change from when I was young!) and am always struggling to keep my weight up. My neighbor, who has had gastric by-pass surgery, had an interesting comment when I told her that it's hard to get sympathy for that problem...she said, "Yeah, I hate your guts."
She said it as a joke, but - yeah yourself, Betty, methinks. SoRRY!
I hope you do force yourself to eat enough, though. It seems we run the gamut here as far as what foods we can tolerate, but a good general diet is so important. (Of course, you already know this, I'm sure - - kind of like telling someone who smokes that it's bad for him.)
