Hey there I had surgery the 17th as well. I am just now thinking of food.  I had a steak on the 15th & have not had a meal since.  While I am thinking of food no actual eating has occured. I am scared to death what my body will do if I mistreat it again.  Hang in there,  Don't go thru the pain of surgery & not reap the benefits.  If I am not mistaken there are signals in your stomach that tell you that you are hungry because they have shrunck your stomach physically your hunger cravings should diminish.  I say this while watching a Thanksgiving feast commercial mmm mmm I hope to have a table spoonof mashed potatoes & table spoon of pumpkin pie.  

I also had surgery on 11/17. I haven't been hungry at all. I am on a clear liquid diet until day seven when I can introduce the protein shakes. I just suggest drink lots of water 1 oz every 5-10 minutes and sip on broth for protein. As long as you are hydrated you will be okay. Try not to stray and eat anything this soon out since it will just hurt you.

Thank you for the information!

Good Luck on your surgery.  Keep us updated.  I'm hoping to have my surgery in the latter part of January.  Waiting on approval from surgeon.

I am have surgery on Monday 23,09..
