Stroke survivor - always hungry

I had a stroke in my left thalamus about a month ago. I felt weak and constant hunger ever since. I’m 65 years old female, and take no meds except a baby aspirin day. I’m 100+ pounds overweight need to lower my cholesterol and blood pressure. I’m eating all healthy foods and have lost 18 pounds but every time I eat I never feel full And I always feel weak as if I haven’t eaten in days. Why is this happening to me and what can I do to remedy the problem?

Hi @annsandhorst and welcome to Connect. I moved your messages to this existing discussion about stroke and constant hunger so that you can meet others experiencing similar after effects of stroke, like @fekind and @brglassworks. I'd also like to invite @lsatenst1 @soloact @lakelifelady @maryar @strokesurvivordynamo and @mlmcg into this discussion.

Ann, have you talked to a dietitian or nutritionist about the constant hunger and weakness?
