But it was due to severe B-12 deficiency. (Oddly no anemia with it.) One of the main noticeable symptom was loss of appetite. Didn't matter what food you'd put in front of me, I just wasn't hungry. It was made worse when I lost weight from when I had double pneumonia.

The thought of a diet when I've spent half my life trying to gain weight? (I'm 6 feet tall too, I have to eat more than the average woman.) It just
sounds horribly wrong to me.
