Major appetite fluctuations - anyone else?

I searched this and didn't find anything, forgive me if I missed something and this is a repeat, but is anyone else having major appetite swings from day to day?  Yesterday I was simply ravenous.  I was hungry constantly and ate like a bear coming out of hibernation.  Today?  Very light breakfast and couldn't even finish my lunch.  It seems like my appetite has been see sawing the whole second trimester so far (I'm 20 weeks today) - anyone else?  I assume it's normal ebbs and flows of baby growing and my digestion system being slow, but it's just crazy how severe the difference is from day to day!

    Yes! Same here! Some days I can't stop eating and other days I have to force myself to eat.  I'm still having very specific cravings as well.  One week all I want is pizza, the next week is steak, this week it's caesar salads all the way. DH is finding this very entertaining.

    Same here. I just eat when I am hungry. I assume that my body will let me know when it's right to eat. I just try my best to make snacks as healthy as possible.

    +1. And I try to make sure my snacks have some protein too. I haven't been much interested in meat lately so trying to get a good variety to prevent food boredom.

    Exactly the same with me! I'm also 20 weeks!!!
    Can't stop eating some days and can barely stand the idea of food on others.

    I wasn't like this my first pregnancy!

    I'm 21 weeks, and I am experiencing the same thing. It makes it hard to pack a lunch every day not knowing how much I really will need/want.

    Oh good - I assumed it was normal, but just wanted to make sure.  Thanks for the reassurance, ladies!  Seems like, just like with most pregnancy symptoms, it is both normal and annoying.  ;)

    Yep! This has been me the whole pregnancy. Some days I can't finish a meal and feel like I'm as big as the moon and other days I eat my weight in fast food and I lose 2lbs.

    For breakfast yesterday I had eggs, bacon, toast, hashbrowns, and 2 massive chocolate chip pancakes. The scary part was, I wasn't full! But I go through days where I want to eat everything, then days where I just can't even look at food.

    Yup, this sounds all to familiar! Glad you posted because I was wondering the same thing if others were having these hunger swings too.

    I am dealing with the same thing and it's been like this for about a month now. I am 22 weeks. Some days I wake up and all day all I can think about is food and other days I barely eat anything. I keep track of what I eat on MyFitnessPal so I can see the difference and it's amazing to go back and look. As crazy as it sounds I tend to eat less on the days I work out and more on the days I don't. For some reason that is how my appetite goes. I'm still gaining weight so that is not a concern. A little too much if you ask me but my Dr says I am right on track with my weight.

    I'm 24wks, weighing in late -I was going to make my own discussion regarding this but then I found this one.
    I have no appetite what so ever. I crave nothing, I just get hungry. Nothing sounds appealing. The only thing I've had a taste for is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.... I hate peanut butter so that suggestion is out the window.
    When I do eat, it's like 10 minutes later I need to eat again.
    This child of mine needs to figure out what he wants mommy to eat pronto.
