Default Appetite

I'm NOT complaining ......just wondering. My appetite has all but vanished lately. It's about 2 or 3 in the afternoon before I feel like I need (or want) to eat something and then it's just a couple of crackers or a small cup of applesauce or maybe a yogurt. I do drink coffee in the morning but that's it.

I could stand to lose a few pounds so I'm not too concerned about it but just wonder what makes me hungry sometimes and not at others.

Last time I had surgery I lost my appetite totally for several weeks afterwards and lost a huge amount of weight. I know it's not the best or safest way to do it but when you can't eat you just can't eat. Why does this happen? Could it be the MS? Has this happened to anyone else?
