I can certainly understand what you mean when you say, "I've pretty much lost my appetite..." I've had three surgeries of the upper digestive tract to remove carcinoid lesions, a rare type of cancer, and there are times when eating seems more of a necessity than a need or a pleasure. I tend to feel full long before I've really finished eating.
You have an indomitable spirit, Laurie, which I admire. I hope the weather warms a bit so that you can get out and walk some. I find that exercise is important for appetite and good functioning of the digestive tract as well as a sense of well-being.
Will you keep in touch and let me know how you are doing?

@hopeful33250 Hello Teresa. Thankyou for your response, and your kind words.
You're so right about eating. I once loved food and now I approach every meal with apprehension. Eating is now, indeed, an Eat to Live strategy, and not a Live to Eat anymore! I've never had a weight problem and was always active with hiking the Rocky Mountains, long walks with my dogs, etc. It's so true that exercise is vital to our health and welfare. I hope to be back to walking outdoors once the snow clears and the frigid temperature goes up. Thanks so much for your encouragement! 😊 Laurie
