when did you notice your hunger coming back? I keep reading a lot of people don't have appetites right after surgery just wondering how long that lasted. thanks

I got my appetite about three days after. There are very, VERY few who report no appetitie again- I'm thinking of Muelle (http://www.lapbandtalk.com/user/305700-muelle/), who since banding has not had an appetite.

Every time I've gone under general anesthesia ( 5 times), I completely lose my appetite for a week!

I was banded on Aug 1, 2012. So I am now 6 days post op yeaaaaa! I got my appetite back about day 3. What I noticed though is that I find myself drinking a few sips of say my Protein shake.. then I lose interest in it, and think hmmmm I wonder if something else will be better, so I go and trade it for some Jello, take a bite .. lose interest... go back and see what else there is.. hahah.. I think that means I'm full, but since I have never felt "Full" before.. I'm having a little trouble recognizing it. lol.

I had no appetite for about 3 days after I was banded on July 26. I can't wait to get a fill now. It's hard to fight the hunger.

This is bored eating, try and stay away from it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
