After the first week of hrt I noticed I'm always hungry, especially sweets and carbs, even my friends noticed that. Is it OK? Should I eat less?

Here were some hints concerning nutrition:

There might be a change in taste... more savoury, or more spicy...

I'd say try to stick to healthy food  :)

Your body is growing, so you'll be hungry. Progesterone kicks it up a notch.

The first three weeks on HRT I lost weight and ate a lot  more foods. Then I started to gain weight and cut back on what I ate. Then ate super healthy and gained weight. Then added exercise. Then added more exercise and began to slowly lose weight. I gained 25 pounds the first 12 months on HRT. The next 1.5 years I lost 20 pounds.

I love chocolate now. I eat 1 piece per day. Do not stop eating what you love, just limit it.

In my opinion, craving carbs/sweets is not a good sign, it's a symptom of PMS, sex hormones that have dropped too low. Perhaps you aren't taking enough E to compensate for the loss of T or are you taking a progestogen, that will also trigger cravings and midly opposes estrogen.
I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005
