Appetite Difference?

Does anyone else have issues where the problems limits their appetite? I'm getting enough calories on a daily basis, but I'm a much more finicky eater. Nothing greasy or spicy. Not too much at one time. I usually wait until I get hungry and then make myself eat.

Right now I'm pretty much living on hamburgers, chicken soup, and soda. Weird combination, I know.

well i have to really watch what i eat if i want to feel OKAY. i also hate breakfast, but if i don't eat i feel horrible. I eat a lot of salads and fruits..ONLY because the good foods are triggers. No fast food unless i want to pay the price..

so for the most part my appetite has only changed because i don't want to feel bad. I miss chinese food!!

Maybe it's because I'm more prone to queasiness and nausea. Junk food doesn't trigger any problems for me, and it's not about me getting sick if I do eat - I just have no appetite.

You know that feeling when you start getting over the flu, and for the first few days you can only stand to eat soup? That's how I feel every day.

I need to make myself do better. Before my rebound last Monday, I was feeling great and eating like a cow.

I have gained weight since the vertigo. If I eat constantly, I don't get nauseous. I really hate this.

I have not noticed and food related triggers for me. I have tried to limit my salt intake regardless of this issue. I have been addicted to sodas as of late, but thats cause water gets boring. But I AM trying to cut back.

I generally eat what I want, and am able to work out on a universal gym. I just try to stay active. But I have been eating more healthy foods and have noticed the weight to start to shed a bit. Bagel and carrots in the morning, sandwich for lunch and usually a home cooked meal.

Eating at home is soooooooo much healthier for you. If you are concerned with your weight, start by eating at home and drinking more water. Cutting a lot of sugar, thats not natural, will help in reducing the weight.

But I love food and its just having to curb the appetite that makes it hard. Yesterday was the first time in a LONG time I had eaten out. Chick fil a. It was good.

Bagel and carrots for breakfast? Just the thought of that makes me cringe LOL

Right now, for example. It's 10:30 in the morning here. I haven't had a bite of food since dinner at 7:00 last night. I'm completely not hungry. The thought of food turns my stomach. I can last this way until 3:00 or so before I actually want to eat.

I'm going to get up and make myself eat some oatmeal. I'll pick at it for 10 mins and eat about half a cup.

Okay guys, I can officially say that making myself eat something I'm not in the mood for is a bad idea these days. I got down about half a cup of oatmeal - the same kind I used to enjoy all the time - and it's making my nausea worse.
