Completely normal! You just need to make sure you are getting fluids in at this point or you will end up back in the hospital if you are not still there.

I hope you feel better soon. Make sure you ask for nausea medication, it should help.

It was a long time before I even felt hungry. I had to actually set an alarm to make sure I ate. I noticed that it would be 3pm and I will have forgotten to eat.

I didn't feel like eating for a few days. But that feeling will dissipate eventually. It's rare I get "hungry" now 2+ months post-op.

I also set reminders on my mobile phone to remind me when to get my Protein shakes, Vitamins, and meals in. Otherwise I could go half the day before I even realized I haven't eaten.

I'm a little over 2 months out and I still don't want food. I know I'm supposed to eat 4 times a day but I'm lucky to eat once because I just DON'T WANT FOOD . I don't think I have experienced a hunger feeling since before surg

Feel the same way. I'm on week 6, and never want to eat. Even since I can eat soft foods, nothing is appetizing. I know some of that is probably me having a bad attitude, but I just have no desire. I always have my 2 shakes, yogurt, lunch and dinner every day, but it can really feel like a chore at times

      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.
