How about:

Do those sound about right?

If you look up appetite in the index, excessive appetite codes to 783.6, unless it states it is of "psychogenic origin".
polyuria /poly·uria/ (-ūr´e-ah) excessive secretion of urine.
In medicine, polyuria is a condition usually defined as excessive or abnormally large production and/or passage of urine (at least 2.5 or 3 L over 24 hours in adults). Frequent urination is sometimes included by definition, but is nonetheless usually an accompanying symptom. Increased production and passage of urine may also be termed diuresis.
Both, Polyuria and Diuresis, code to 788.42.
Hope this helps!

I agree with OhynO, Perfect; polyurea and diuresis is the right choice for excessive urination.

Reporting of underlying causes could be important to support, if known, such as diabetes, Kleine Levin Syndrome (a malfunction in the hypothalamus), the genetic disorders Prader-Willi Syndrome and Bardet Biedl Syndrome can cause hyperphagia (compulsive hunger) OR, non medical conditions like Strenuous Exercise, or Convalescence.
Watch out if any condition like that suits your case.
