Ill be three weeks post op in Monday. I'm on soft Protein. I literally feel like I'm forcing myself to eat. I'm never hungry. Did anyone else experience this and does it eventually go away? I have a lot of head hunger but the second I take a bite of something, I just don't.....feel it, I guess you could say.

I feel your pain. I am 5 weeks out this week. I was on soft foods but everything I ate made me sick or uncomfortable. So, I would have rather had nothing. I still don't get too hungry unless I go a long time without eating. I promise it gets better. I am still waiting to get all my energy back. Good luck to you!

I'm a year post op and felt the exact same way right after surgery. It does change after a while, in the beginning I had to remind myself to eat and I NEVER felt hungry. I guess about 5-6 months post op I started to get hunger pains, I would eat a spoon full of something and I was full. Now that I am a year out, I can sit down and have a small meal, I know when to stop and in now way can I overeat like I did before surgery. Best think I ever did !!!!

19 days post op and feel that way daily. I have NO appetite. I am eating some soft foods, but have no desire for them. I have now gone 4 days without all of my protien....... I also have only lost FIVE pounds in 19 days, and have been in a stall for 7 days.

I dont have a loss of energy, nor do I feel sick.... I just have NO appetite.

6-8 weeks I started getting hungry (very different than pre-op). Prior to that I pretty much made myself et cuz I knew I needed to...

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
