Just curious: Appetite?

Do any of you have a poor appetite? I could go all day without eating, but my blood sugar drops. I just don't have a desire to eat. Anyone else?

Hello,
I'm not sure what kind of thyroid situation you are in {hyPer? hyPo?} but here's how it went for me:  when I was hyPer...I was starving all the time!  I couldn't eat enough.  After RAI...I seemed to become more normal.  Now it's 6 months post RAI and with med adjustments and such, I haven't found my appetite again =(  I get hungry but it doesn't seem like things taste as good.  I definitely cannot go all day without eating though, my body lets me know that I need to eat or I get shaky, but the actual taste of food...well I just don't desire it like I used to .

Mellowscout...good luck

This isn't exactly what you are asking I don't think.....but yesterday had the left half of my thyroid removed.   I was eating 2 hours after surgery and have been eating like a starving man today.
