Appetite

[Alainaluvsu]

Over the past month, I've been getting a pretty noticable increase in my appetite. What's strange is, I lost 7 lbs for about 3 months after starting HRT, and it hasn't come back. Has anybody else gotten a heavier appetite that has only shown up months after starting HRT?

My appetite fluctuates quite a bit, but overall I am always hungry and it seems no amount of food satisfies me.  As well, I also have lost weight (roughly 10 pounds).

By the way, for reference...

Depends on the day. But it definitely fluctuates more now than before. I dropped a bunch of weight (muscle mass) after starting HRT. Mostly my back and shoulder muscles are way smaller and leaner than before.

I feel hungry all the time, but I don't eat all the time. I'm also hungry for different foods from before I went on HRT - I don't want bananas and muesli (which I used to love), I want fatty foods. At the moment I'm craving fish like crazy.

I've lost a little weight over the last 3 months, lost some chest/back size, and gained some boob size. My hips and bum are still exactly the same size, and still exactly the same size as each other, dammit. I await the hourglass - and I hope not all the sand runs to the bottom .

Girl can I EAT!!!!

I've actually almost completely lost my appetite. Unsure whether that's the result of HRT, or being very careful of my caloric intake (have lost a lot of weight in the past few months due to dieting).

I get full very quickly, I've no cravings for sweet things whatsoever. But that's probably because I started eating a lot of fruit after going on a diet.

My appetite seems unaffected by HRT (1y2w in). My weight generally stays at 100lbs... it's gone up to 105, and down to 95, and I really haven't had the will to eat enough to get to a proper weight. Some days I forget to eat entirely... being too lazy to cook all the time might be a part of it though.

I'd like to get up to 120. Maybe I'd have boobs if I did that...    But I know I don't have the appetite to escape being underweight.
