I wanted to out my two cents in. Although Im only 4 days post op, it is hard for me to eat anything. I do know now that hunger is encompassed with smell and taste. I can smell my husbands soup and know what it will taste like, but my stomach physically says a different story. The thought of actually consuming it doesnt cross my mind. I guess in a way its good, but in another way Im scared that I will 'always' have to remind myself to eat.
