It's normal. The nerves that tell your brain you're hungry were cut during surgery and take time to heal.
I'm not sure why you are producing so much saliva though.

You are just experiencing a couple of side effects of this surgery that not all people do. Take advantage of the fact you are not hungry,because that will change. But do eat what is on your plan in 5-6 smalls meals a day.
The other issue with excess saliva is often referred to as "sliming." No one has ever mentioned why this happens to some. It just does. For those on my other support groups who have been through this it seems to stop over time. One person even carried a ziplock baggie with paper towels in it so if it occurred while she was eating out she could be kind of inconspicuous about it. She said when it did happen she never had time to find privacy as it happened suddenly and in copious amounts. I personally think that it has to do with same mechanism that is triggered when we vomit. It is just there isn't much in the pouch now to come up since you are on very limited amounts of food.
