I am 6 days post surgery. On my 5th day I started craving real food that I liked. Not to eat a huge dinner but I just wanted a bite of real food of the things I like. i was on two week pre-op diet so it's been three weeks since any real food. Cream of chicken soup has been my savior because it's actually hot food. It is scary to think if I'm already craving food not even a week later. It's not that I'm hungry. I'm anxiously waiting for the next phase of food.
