I didn't want to eat much after my stroke (Christmas Eve, 2018).
When I did start eating again, my tastes had changed a lot.
Over the years, I'm pretty much back to "normal" -- at least in that regard.
You may find my YouTube channel about my stroke journey interesting:

Good luck!

Hi @grrranny - just wanted to let you know I moved your post about not wanting to eat after a stroke here so you could chat with more members who've discussed this same topic. If you've not already connected, please meet @lakelifelady @rldawg @pegharlow @lyn1 @davej and others. Hoping they will have insights for you about not wanting to eat much since a stroke.

Also glad you've connected with @scottrl.

When you do eat since your stroke, @grrranny, are there foods you find go down more easily?

After my TBI when still hospitalized in a swing bed I lost nearly ten pounds on my very small frame. I had to use a mirror to see my mouth because my neck was in a brace. When a plate of food was in front of me I actually hung my head when trying to eat. Without a sense of smell or taste it was like eating a strange substance and was no fun. I tried to drink down bottles of chocolate Ensure . I could eat tapioca pudding and ice cream. Gradually though some taste and smell returned and I ate a lot of cottage cheese with fruit and peanut butter and soups like clam chowder or wild rice and chicken.
