Thanks for the info, I am also starting to gain weight despite watching what I eat. One of the parts of my brain that has an infarct due to my stroke. Is my thalamus. There are those that say that it cause weight gain, but it is 8 mos since I had the stroke. Anyone have any thoughts ?

Hi @lsatenst1,
I add my welcome to John's. I'd like to introduce you to two additional Connect members. Please meet @beachgal8 who also has experience with ischemic stroke. And @fekind who writes about her fiancé having insatiable hunger after having had a stroke. You can read more about each of them in these discussions on Connect:

Lsatenst, does hunger accompany your weight gain?
