Why patient do not eat solid food after surgery?

Yes - it is normal to not be hungry after surgery. Surgery is commonly performed under general anesthesia. General anesthesia often causes not only loss of appetite but also nausea (one of the reasons they tell people not to eat before surgery). Once the nausea wears off however, it is fairly common to be very hungry since the patient usually hasn't eaten in a while. Just how long it takes for appetite to come back depends on how well the patient feels after the surgery. The worse they feel, the more likely they are to not feel hungry.
