Do You Have Days Post-op When You Do Not Fee Like Eating?

I am 2.5 weeks post-op. Today is the first day post-hospital when I truly do not feel like eating. I am thirsty and am drinking. But I simply have no appetite. I experienced this right after surgery. But this is the first time since being at home. Might it be caused by having eaten too much on other days? Does anyone else experience this? What might be the cause of this? Does it go away?

Thanks for any insights.

Wishing everyone the greatest of success on his or her weight loss journey!

I felt this way yesterday, but I was only 5 days post op. Maybe you are filling up with plenty of liquid that you feel full. Try not drinking anything for 30 minutes to see if you get hungry then eat something little? I am not sure I really have much advice, but hope others who are further postop then me have some advice for you :)

I have many days like this... but I still eat 3 meals a day and I get my liquids and protein in for sure. I am almost 9 months post op and you will for sure have good days and bad days.... as you move forward you will have more better days than bad.

I don't feel like eating most days. I just eat because I have too.

thanks everyone for your insights! i truly appreciate them

8 months out. Most day I eat because I have to eat. Went back to milk w/protein powder in the am. I take a bite or 2 and push food away.

I don't have this problem at all. I wish I didn't feel hungry but I do. I feel I eat all the time!!
