I gained a bunch of weight after my strokes in November of last year. The stroke didn’t cause me to gain weight my own stupidity did. I figured since I was still alive I could eat whatever I wanted. That was not the case. I use a Weight loss app, which is free, called LoseIt, that I’ve had good success with. You basically track everything you eat. I’ve lost 20 pounds in 2 1/2 months. I decided living a better healthy is a better option than eating myself to death. Good luck in your journey. It is possible to lose weight after a stroke.
