Can't tell if hungry or full
I realize loss of appetite is normal... but has anyone else experienced this, having absolutely no feeling of both hunger or fullness? I'm assuming it is still bad to eat too much right now as well.

not hungry
Hi Spazactaz,
Very interesting situation; way back before getting on the bus, before even getting a ticket for the ride, I knew what it was like to feel hungry and what it felt like to feel full, not anymore. I’ve noticed, even while living mostly on smoothies I am never hungry. My Dad even picked up on it and asked why I wasn’t hungry. I don’t know. I use to love to eat, to go out to restaurants, to barbeque, but not anymore. In my radiation clouded mine I just assumed it will eventually all work out. Secretly, very secretly, I am hoping things return to old normal, but if they don’t, I am going to be one lean middle aged man that is not hungry.
Go figure,

I never actually FEEL hungry either....
I feed myself pretty much by the clock, because I can't rely on hunger pains...I don't think about filling up, either...I'm just counting calories...like eating is just a function rather than a pleasure. Doesn't stop me from dreaming about food, or drooling my pretend drool when someone is cooking, or I'm watching TV.
Weird, huh?

Maybe all the fluids you are getting is causing that "no hungry" feeling???

Yup, Jim has no hunger
Yup, Jim has no hunger either. He is having a hard time gaining weight because he never gets hungry and can only eat small amounts at a time. If I don't get hungry he doesn't realize he needs to eat. I have thought about setting a timer to remind him to eat. I, unfortunately, can eat way to much at one sitting so I can go without a meal.

Appetite
I am 4 weeks out too and I am rarely hungry. When I eat, I seem to tire of eating before I feel full. Today's menu was half an omelet mid-morning and pea soup for dinner. Will top off with a root beer float later. Then again, it was 108 in St Louis today which puts a damper on anyone's appetite. Strange thing is I can't quit watching Food Network!0
