I had a tummy tuck yesterday and everything went incredibly well. Is it normal to be hungrier after surgery?

The nurse told me not to be surprised if I don't have an appetite, but I have the opposite problem. I feel much hungrier. I usually eat 1300 calories a day, but today I consumed closer to 1700! I've been eating things like eggs, protein drinks, brown rice cakes with almond butter and strawberries, bananas and apple sauce, chicken and sweet potatos. Should I slow it down or is this normal?
