Six days post-op, and still not hungry.

[sawyer77 1]

Hey! Six days post-op, and I'm NOT HUNGRY! Is this normal?

I have to force myself to eat, as I already feel bloated and full. I'm hoping it's just the gas/bloating that's making me feel this way. I've been walking and following doctor's orders.

Just wondering if anyone else found themselves disinterested in eating for the first week after surgery. Don't get me wrong, HEAD HUNGER is strong! Just no actual hunger.

I am 12 days post-op and have never been hungry since the operation. I have very little 'head hunger' even. The bloated feeling went away as the swelling went down, but no hunger has emerged. I'm not complaining. Without the swelling its easy to get my daily requirements in. I'm down 16 pounds too.

5 days post-op for me and no hunger (head or stomach). My doc said just to concentrate on hydration so you're doing good if you're able to get down the other as well. My nausea is so overwhelming, I'm having trouble getting Water down.

I was nauseous early on. Called the doc and he called in an anti-nausea med for me. I only had to take it 3 days and I was fine. Call now!

I am 12 days post op and just now feeling hungry. I was actually up 2 lbs the day after surgery which freaked me out a little, but as I continued to walk and drink plenty of fluids, the weight started reversing. Down 11 lbs total only 3 since surgery, but the doc said to expect only a lb a week so I am right on target.

I was great the first six days, day 7, 4:00 a.m. I woke up starving and stayed that way until I could move to mushies, then just stayed slightly hungry most of the time. Then I got my first fill, and while not perfect, am not hungry all the time either, WOOHOO!! My advice? Drink drink drink, walk walk walk, and ride the not hungry wave for as long as you can! Enjoy it and keep up the good work!

I am six days post-op and I just started getting my hunger pains back...but it wasn't hungry like before and I am able to rid them with my fluids. I am about to begin thicker liquids tomorrow and I don't see it being a problem. I am back to feeling pretty normal and went back to work and college class in evening and felt damn good. I am almost 30 lbs. (including pre-op) but I have noticed no real hunger that I can't control.:wink:

i am only 3 days post op and i am tired of Jello and chicken broth. I think i have head hunger because after i drink or eat the jello i am full...but those tv commercials and super bowl shows on what to make for the big day make me hungry. plus i have to prepare meals for my children. i feel like i have no muscle in my stomach and it is just hanging and making my back hurt...ok those are all my complaints

I am 4 weeks post-op and going in for my first fill this Wednesday. I have had very little hunger for the entire month. A few days I've forgotten to eat from morning till evening. ME??? forget to eat??? unheard of!!

Now I make sure I eat my 3 small meals / day. If my Protein is low I add in a Protein shake in the evening.

The only time I thought I was hungry .....I was bored ...so I found something to do and I was just fine. Boredom was always a tough one for me. Now I take my bored butt out for a walk
