Has anyone ever experienced an aversion to food?

I am 5 weeks post op and the thought, sight, smell of food really nauseates me. It's kind of alarming as I don't want to starve, dehydrate or do any real damage to my health. I look at all the food lists of things I'm supposed to eat and everything turns my stomach (what's left of it). And when I enter places where food is cooking, the smell nauseates me. Nothing appeals to me...and I'm just disgusted by food. Anyone out there experience this? I'm sure it's one of the many post op phases, but I'd love to hear from anyone who is experiencing or has experiened this. Thanks! Oh PS: I'm down 35 pounds ... I'm happy about that. Just don't want to get sick in the bargain.
