I had surgery on April 30th..I have no APPETITE at all...I havent really been getting anything in...Is this normal or what?And when will my appetite come back...

I had mine on 4/15. I'm the same way. There's days where I can't stomach anything just because I'm not hungry at all. I hear it takes a few months to get the "hunger pains" back

It's very normal. I wasn't hungry for about 3/4 months. Then my appetite return about 4 1/2 months but it wasn't like I can eat a whole lot. I can eat more now at 11 months post up but I never eat to the point that I'm in pain or full to max. I keep my self at a limit amount of food. Example 1 cup of rice or less 1/2 cup of beans,and 1/4 meat or sometimes 1 cup of beans,and 1/2 cup rice, and 1/4 or a little more meat. Salad 1-2 cups with meat on top. Takes me a while to drink a large drink. I can gulp down water but I can't fit 8oz in one setting.

I'm glad to see I am not the only one that has the hunger pains back! It worries me but I know that I have control over it ... Just scary cause I don't want to give in!!

My surgery anniversary (1 year) is coming up this Wednesday. I have no hunger pains and I still have to force myself to eat the recommended daily protein. Blessing or curse? Not sure.

Sounds like a little bit of both:) but hopefully more of a blessing

I was about 3 or 4 months out before I actually could eat a variety of things and get my protein in and was a little interested in food. So you are TOTALY normal :-D Even a year out I don't get actual hungry often and it's odd and almost unrecognizable when I do feel hungry lol It takes me a minute to realize what's going on :-)

The first week after surgery, I felt I was hungry. Was eating three meals and never felt full. This week (2) I have to force myself to eat something to get protein in. So weird to NOT be hungry! Never thought that would happen to me! LOL
