yes, indeed, think sometimes its because we tired we don't eat as much, and also we all have days where we use so much energy just trying to breathe. I find for me, that I cope better with having 4 small meals a day, plus a smoothie or something similar, not a milk drinker, but, if add fruit to it , and a few other things, pop it all into the blender it goes down well.

Some people do experience weight loss. If you've just been diagnosed and are just now experiencing weight loss, see your doc. It's probably not the emphysema by itself.

I've lost a lot of weight, I think I use so much energy to breath. I notice after I eat I have to wear oxygen because of energy or oxygen to digest the food.
