Appetite after surgery!!!

I have heard and read that alot of people totally loose there appetite after surgery! Is this true? How long does that last and does it vary with open or lap?

I has surgery on 5-17 and I'm starving! I had Lap RNY and I am so tired of broth, jello, etc..I am existing on cottage cheese, tuna, and protein shakes. It's almost torture to see all the fast food commercials, but I ate out ALL the time before. I think it may be lessening some, but the hunger is definately still there for me. The good thing is that if I give in to my hunger and eat something(tuna, etc..), I find that I can eat very little.

I didn't feel "hunger" after surgery. I don't now, unless I go for like 12 hours and forget to eat, then I feel hungry. I had my surgery on 2/3/04, and I've lost 85 pounds to date.

I'm almost 9 weeks post-op and I'm just now getting my appetite bac****il last week I didn't want to eat or drink anything, my family and friends, pretty much force fed me... I had Lap RnY on 3-30-04... Love Lori

I guess I'm a freak then.

I have to remember to eat. I don't feel hungry

I had surgey on 3-16-04 and I am not hungry unless I forget to eat for like 12 hours or so. My family it still having to stay on me about eating. I have lost 66lbs so far. Rachel
