Loss of appetite - surgical or pregnancy related?

I am 2 years post op and pregnant. All through the past two years I have done well sticking to a routine of only eating when I'm hungry (I'm an expert grazer), but I've noticed that I'm not hungry nearly as often as I was before I was pregnant. Yesterday I went nearly 12 hrs without eating and didn't realize it until I finally did try to eat. I've tried "force feeding" myself with a schedule of high-protien several times a day and just can't do it. It's not exactly morning sickness, more like dumping. I'll take one bite of food, have to chew it forever (more than I normally would) and it still just sits there when I swallow. This is my first pregnancy, and my copy of "what to expect when you're expecting" is still in the mail, so please tell me if this is a pregnancy thing that will pass or something I'll have to keep dealing with until February. P.S. This isn't in the library already - I checked :)
