Thank you, Theresa. Prior to her stroke, she loved food, but she was very desciplined. In fact, she would often throw out unhealthy foods to ensure she didn't binge eat. She was taking a low dose of Zoloft which can cause increased appetite, her doctor put her on Celexa instead, but there has been no change. I will look into the Mary Free Bed Organization.

Hi again @fekind. I have been thinking about your post and it helped me remember my wife also had significant swings in her eating habits. One of the areas of her brain, which was damaged by her tumor, must have been her appetite control function. It changed in many ways over years. This included radical changes in volume, likes and dislikes, etc. She also began needing far fewer calories burned so she had weight gain quickly. The way I could help was by eliminating as many high calorie and empty calorie foods from our kitchen as possible. Side benefit? I began to eat healthier too 🙂

@fekind Thanks for your reply. You provided some good insight into her prior eating habits. This information might serve her well during your next consultation. Please keep me posted on how she (and you!) are doing. I hope that you can find some additional help at the Mary Free Bed Hospital. Best wishes. Teresa
