It can be normal. Especially this close to surgery. Enjoy it while it lasts! :)

Some people feel hunger, some don't. Consider yourself lucky that you don't! It makes it easy to eat only what's necessary for your health, and cut back enough to lose your excess weight.
Be warned though -- almost always, hunger comes back, usually between the six month and one year mark. That's one of the reasons you need to take advatage of this and get the weight off while it's easiest.
Enjoy it while you can!

Very common for recent post ops. Unfortunately, the lack of hunger doesn't always last. Do your very best to take advantage of this "honeymoon" period where you are the most motivated and the weight loss is the easiest it will ever be. Hang in there and good luck.

Yes totally normal, but head hunger is a pita!
For me when the hunger did come back it was no where as strong as it used to be pre op. The only time hunger ever got that strong is when I ate a lot of carbs, usually it was the refined carbs that brought on strong hunger pangs.
Enjoy this feeling for as much as you can.
