On the positive side, I am now consistently taking my thyroids medication between 7:00-7:30 am which I am told is good rather than taking at various times throughout the day.
On the negative side, I am putting myself in a position of eating more calories since I am awake longer, especially since the desire to eat is psychological and is enhanced when one does not keep busy.
Despite the fact that I am not always busy throughout the day, my desire to eat has been diminished because I had no appetite for about 35 days in a row and that loss of appetite seems to have remained at least for now.
My calorie intake seems to have stabilized at around 1800 calories each day. Interestingly, it was very similar to what my intake was before I was hospitalized. The difference before was the fact that I consciously tried to suppress my desire for food whereas I no longer (at least so far) have to try and suppress my appetite.
My weight, at this point-in-time seems to have leveled off at 224 pounds which is a loss of 26 pounds since January 2020 with most of the loss coming during the 34 days that I was sick.
