So I have been thinking about my initial hunger post op and my recent stall/.5 lb gain. I was steadily losing until very recently and I still am experiencing hunger but if I eat every few hours it goes away. I didn't have the infamous 3 week stall or any stall. I think the fact that I'm still breastfeeding is what is causing the ravenous hunger and my first stall.

I am speculating based on how the science of how the body produces milk and how many extra calories a day that breastfeeding burns that my body is trying to keep producing milk but having less resources with which to do it. So thus I'm starving and my body's trying to hold onto it. My supply has decreased a little but my baby is fine and still nice and fluffy. I'm not needing to do anything differently to try and lose more weight nor to try and increase my milk supply. It's just been a little different for me than others have described their initial first three months. It's been very interesting.
