now where has my appetite gone?
And why is it I am either hungry all day or not hungry at all?
Last night I realized I had not eaten much yesterday. Now it's almost 6 pm here and I've had maybe 500 calories today. I had a protein bar for breakfast, which is typical for me. All I had for lunch was six ounces of fresh raspberries. I just wasn't hungry. I didn't have an afternoon snack. For dinner I sauteed some fresh tomatoes and zucchini and melted some mozzarella cheese on it. I usually eat about a cup of that, or a little more. I got down about 3/4 cup and felt so stuffed I couldn't eat any more. My cat is finishing what I left now.
I have no idea what the problem is. But I would like some moderation with regard to my appetite!

Have you noticed any patern to the hungry , non hungry days? I haven't
I know sometimes I just keep eating after dinner, SF popcycle , 3-4 almonds, 2T PB2, for no aparent reason , just some days are like that.
Hopefully the no appetite won't last long , it is the pits to try and eat when you don't want to , just like it is the pits to not eat when you want to !! we can't win

no ideas here but well wishes. I do seem to have high hunger days but not many low hunger days. sometimes I will be hungry and just can't eat right then. Then when I can get to something, I'm not hungry anymore. That seems weird to me.

I'm not nearly as far out as you are but I do notice some days I feel like a bottomless pit and some days I have to force myself to eat anything. Most days are pretty normal but I feel depressed and lethargic on the days I have to force feed myself. Its a bummer.
I am sure it's nothing to worry about and you are smart and will go to your doctor if you have concerns that its serious. I have a feeling it might maybe just be due to stress and a not hungry pouch day. Just keep having protein bars and drinks and know that it should balance out soon. I hope you and Cayenne and the rest of the kitties are doing OK!
