Increased appetite?

My DH’s appetite has varied over time. Sometimes he won’t hardly eat and sometimes he wakes up in the night and is hungry. I never have any idea why but it does happen.

yes it’s common. Many crave sweets. Try hiding them in upper cabinets with a child proof lock. Leave a few healthy snacks out. There are bed alarms you can get that will alert you when he gets up. Do you have safety locks on the doors so he can’t leave?

This thread title triggered a thought for me. My dear wife, not since departed a month ago, went through several changes in diet which were very surprising. Sweet is certainly one key. The last taste sensation they often have dictates the diet. She would only eat, and I mean only, waffles with syrup, blueberry preserves on toast or waffles and nothing else for a while. Of course, the doctor's reaction was to just let her eat whatever she will to get calories. About the time I had bought all the blueberry preserves in the store or all the waffles and syrup, she changed. Overnight she became hungry, would eat anything, even things she never ate before the disease. The amount of food she would consume at a meal put me to shame and I am 6'3 and 220 lbs. That voracious appetite lasted for several months and then subsided again. The her diet was less varied, back to more sweets, and much less volume. That only declined over the coming months as it became obvious that she was getting worse and faster. Just be aware that like everything else in this disease process, diet can take surprising and amazing twists and turns also. If anyone needs blueberry preserves and cannot find them on the local shelf, call me :)
