ive heard that after surgery moist people are not hungry and have to make themselves eat. Is this true? Has anyone experienced this post op?

I occasionally get what I thought was hunger, but really my body was signaling that I needed to drink more fluids.

I'm almost 7 months out, and I do get hungry. It's not like before, and it's certainly manageable. It also doesn't take much to satisfy it. I think I'm more like a normal person now, with fairly normal eating habits. I do love it! Some days I just feel like eating, and I have to battle that. It's not hunger, it's years of bad habits, reaction to stress, etc.

I'm more or less the same as MichiganChic. I did go a very long time, though, when I really just was never hungry. Now, six months out I often wake up hungry. But it's certainly manageable. I feel normal.

Head hunger, that enemy of all of us, came back at around four months. Like physical hunger, it's manageable and easier to squash.

I'm not hungry until around noon each day, but them I'm hungry the rest of the day!

This is true for me so I was waiting too long between eating and it was causing nausea when my stomach filled up with air. So I eat a bite or two every hour or two.
