12 weeks out and appetite is back?
Hi. Yes, the same thing happened to me about 12 weeks out as well, except I wouldn't call it an "appetite" in my case. I certainly am not hungry the way I use to be before, but I just "know" that I have to eat. It's almost like a gnawing feeling...hard to explain...

Lucky you! My hunger was back a week after surgery.
Honestly I'm not sure what is normal and what isn't. I know they say it can take awhile perhaps that is average, but some people like me get it back right away, and others say they don't ever get it back.
The further you get out the more you'll be able to eat and that is completely normal. As for your appetite, guess its normal for you. Were all individuals.
Good luck with your post op journey!
