Surgery is a full-body event. And it often changes how your gut, hormones, and appetite behave.
You might notice:
Loss of appetite early on
Later, strong cravings or intense hunger
Slower digestion or constipation
Aversion to certain foods
These shifts are common and usually temporary. But they’re also valuable signals.
Support your recovery with nutrient-dense, easy-to-digest meals.
Don’t fear hunger when it returns. It’s part of your healing body asking for fuel.
