When did you get hungry?

I'm 3 days post op and haven't felt hungry yet. I've been drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated and drink a little chicken broth - but I was wondering when everyone else started to feel hunger?

I had surgery on Tuesday and am not hungry but have horrible headache

Take some children's Tylenol and try to sleep. I had that last week like 3 days post op.

Today is my 7 month "Surgiversary" and I still don't feel hungry in the old sense of the word like I used to. I feel like I want to eat something because it sounds yummy, or I get shaky and headachy when I have gone too long without eating so I know I am hungry. But without the hunger hormone Grehlin anymore, I don't have that gnawing hunger that used to drive me to eat (and caused me to become so overweight). Now, I find that I can plan my meals, make healthy choices, and eat sensibly. When I was at your stage, I got really tired and bored of just drinking liquids pretty quickly and wanted something solid, so when I could have soft foods, I was super excited! My first foods were an over easy egg, cottage cheese, and greek yogurt. And they were delish :) Good luck on your journey!

8 weeks post-op and don't feel hungry like I used to. I started feeling like maybe I should eat something at 3 weeks out but really don't get hungry the same way. Usually when I do feel it I am really just thirsty and Water takes care of it. Good luck!
