Anyone else got no appetite post covid?

I’m about a week post Covid and still have absolutely no appetite. I’m forcing myself to eat but can only face about half of what I ate pre covid and I really don’t enjoy it. I’ve been left with reduced smell and taste but this is improving - don’t know if that’s linked.

I'm the opposite. Really hungry. Blush

Which isn't great because I'm still in isolation and getting no exercise whatsoever!

FWIW, I also have no smell. Taste is mostly OK now, a bit hit and miss sometimes.

I lost my appetite when I had Covid and for a while after and now I can't stop eating, it feels as if I'm constantly hungry and I seem to have no brake. Hope it settles soon as I was trying to lose a few pounds before I got ill in the summer!

I was the same OP but it did return!

Covid March 2020 and I had no appetite for a good 9 months, lost a stone going down to 8st. Unfortunately I then couldn't stop eating and put on 3st

It's been utterly bizarre considering I've been 9st for almost 30 years.

Fortunately my appetite seems to be settling now but being less active post Covid as still exhausted and post 50 I think it's going to be a while to feel my normal weight again.

I've known a couple of people have this over the last few months who haven't had covid.

There's another weird bug that's going around that's affecting appetite.

I’m the opposite, I’m starving. And I’m being really inactive, so this is not going to go well for my waistline 😩

It’ll pick up again OP, just eat little & often. It’s only been a week, your body is probably still recovering 😊

Two months after covid and my smell and taste is minimal.

Food doesn’t interest me. Can only really taste sweet things now.

I used to get really excited about food, now it’s just a ‘thing’ to stop hunger.
