Are you on a PPI?  Stomach acid can mimic hunger.  

Your stomach is also recovering from surgery right now, so it doesn't know what it wants.  You might also just be feeling liquid fatigue - I know I did!

A proton pump inhibitor. It reduces stomach acid. Nexium and Prilosec are PPIs!

Hang in there. The liquid stage got annoying to me around that time too. Days of being able to chew are rapidly approaching. I'm on day 8 of puréed foods/soft solids and I'm still just happy to be using a fork.

A warm/hot mug of chicken broth really helped me from time to time when I felt the "hungeries".

What helped me with the "wanting to chew" something feeling, was the SF popsicles! I got to chew something and they count as fluid too. As everyone has said above, it will get better : )

5 days out  for me and Popsicles are my go to when I am "hungry". I get to chew! I tried some extremely soupy oatmeal and it did not agree with me at all! So I'm sticking with the Popsicles.
