Appetite changes

[Thegrassroots26]

Did anyone find that their appetite was weird during Peri or menopause? I feel like my appetite cues are really not there. Food doesn’t seem to taste or satisfy in the way it used to. Also my thirst is strange. I also feel like I’ve got no energy at lot of the time and have to lie down a lot, especially if I do too much.

For context I have had some nasty bugs this winter so it’s possible post viral fatigue is an issue, but I’m also beginning to suspect this is due to my age and changing body/hormones.

I can’t take HRT as it makes me feel very nauseous to the point I can’t function (think extreme preg sickness).

Yes! Snap to all of that. Food isn’t satisfying anymore and I don’t have much of an appetite. I’m 43 & cycles are 55 days average. Always exhausted

Same. Had flu and lost a stone, now I am just not interested I. Food. Not sure if flu or peri related. I've spent so many years thinking about what we're going to eat that I'm just over it.

Interesting! Glad I’m not the only one with this… though I’m sorry you are also experiencing these issues. It’s not fun! Annoyingly I gained a stone after being ill and the nausea from hrt… hopefully I can get more active when the weather improves.
