Lost my appetite after AZ jags

[alpenguin]

Maybe a bit of a bonus for me but after my first AZ vaccination I lost my appetite. I’ve now had my second and I still don’t have much of an appetite. I’m eating three meals a day and making the most of it by trying to exercise and have found it really easy to cut out junk food. I’ve lost 1.5st so far (I have plenty weight spare so this is a good thing).

Has anyone else lost their appetite after getting their vaccination?

Yes, me! It was my first side effect about four hours after my jab when I couldn’t finish my dinner. Two weeks later I’m still off my food and I haven’t touched any alcohol - the thought of it makes me feel nauseous!

It took about 3 weeks for my appetite to return after I had my first dose. It’s listed as one of the possible side effects.

My husband and I both lost our appetites after the first dose of the AZ vaccination - it wasn't until about 10 days after though and for about 5 days we felt really full from mid morning onwards. Very unlike us.

First I've heard of this. Is it just the AZ? I was already worried and hoping the guidance would change so I would be given a different vaccine by the time I got my text (I'm in my thirties). I have recent history of anorexia so it could be a huge problem for me.

No, unfortunately not.

I've got my second AZ on Friday, I bloody hope I lose my appetite! I'd be delighted

You may start a stampede for AZ now😂
