There are some meds with the side effect of making you not feel hungry . You maybe on one of those medications. The Dr. want to make sure , that you’re still getting the Nutrients that your body needs .

Medications. Can change your appetite I am on 3 meds. And noticed I am eating only half a meal 3 times a day. I have to write it done. I have to indicate fluids too!

I don’t have much of an appetite but with meds I take have to eat. Anyone notice food flavor changes? I feel like I’m getting fat! Well I’m older.

Simply due the fact that different medications can cause weight loss/gain. When I was pregnant, one of the medications I was using was caused weight loss. My is fine now but didn’t even weigh five pounds. That medication is used for weight loss now but that was 25 years ago and they were still trying it out, just like they do with all medication. I can honestly say that I never had to buy any maternity clothes and they finally took me off of it and then the weight loss stopped. 👍❤️🙏
