Are you at least keeping hydrated? That is my biggest fear if you're not feeling hungry or thirsty. But, this sure sounds like a good question for your doctor's office. Especially if it's been this long since your surgery. I think if it were me, I'd make sure to get checked out to make sure everything is alright. Please keep us updated...

Yeah , im trying to keep hydrated , but its like i dont even feel like drinking water anymore, like body never needs it... its really weird... so i drink like juice or gatorade its easier for me...

Yeah, it's not easy to drink much plain water. I know my stomach even goes wierd if I drink too much of it. Most of what my husband and I drink is crystal light. It's flavored and a little easier on the stomach. Needless to say, anything to make sure you get enough liquids!
