Is this normal?

I'm like 4 days post op(Had surgery July 29th)....7 days on liquids...and I'm just not hungry. I'm mind hungry tho and I'm taking my vitamins/protein shakes...but I'm wondering if I'd be able to step it up and go into my soft foods...I'm thinking about making chicken and veggies and then blending them together in a really thin gravy I can put on mashed potatoes so I'm getting some kind of nutrients. And I'm not sure if I have restriction because...I am just not hungry at all...all I had yesterday was 6 oz. water, 8 oz apple juice, and 3 werthers hard candies.And I barely noticed. I'm looking forward to trying milk...as I'm worried about my calcium intake as well...I have tried pudding and yogurt and both have gone down well...

Perfectly normal, I didnt feel hungry either until about 2-3 weeks out (I was on liquids a month).

I wouldnt worry about your vitamin and nutrient intake and such, you are taking your vitamins, drinking your shakes. It is ohhh so important to follow your post op diet. You have probably read it a million times but your tummy needs to heal. You dont want to possibly damage your band, or start off with poor eating habits right from the get-go. I know it is only a bit of mashed potato and gravy, but eventually your appetite will come back, and you will start eating more and more of these kinds of things which will only set you up for dissapointment. Also, if you are not really hungry.... why eat? As you mentioned you are getting your requirements.
