Question Feeding Advice after period of non feeding

Hi my 8 year old cornsnake went througha 12 week period of not feeding - she is now eating again and seems as if she is hungry all the time and is always looking for food. I have had different advice on how often to fed her considering she missed 3 months food. Some say feed small food every 3/5 days for a while and someone else said more than once a week can cause digestive problems so not sure what to do- can any one advise?

if she is lookinmg for food within a 48 hr period afetr feeding then you are not feeding enough,

after a period of fasting you should start of with slightly smaller food then increase each week until you are back to normale sized food.
