@dowagerginger I have similar problems with food. I can eat but still feel hungry. I am working on it because being at home so much I have gained some weight. I'm happy to say that yesterday I did OK with managing my intake. My weight gain also started with an injury. I was just beginning to lose that weight and the pandemic happened so, my weight went in the opposite direction.

I have been on prednisone since I had my transplant in September 2016 and like you, I do not think it caused a weight gain in me at all. It did cause my bones to turn to swiss cheese though.

@johnbishop I know many people have success with intermittent fasting but being mildly diabetic I don't think it would work on me. When I get up in the morning I am sometimes light-headed and really need to eat ASAP. I think the best fast I could do would be from 8 at night until 8 in the morning and doesn't the fasting time exceed 12 hours? I think my son is doing intermittent fasting which is sort of funny. He is the most disciplined and fit person I know. There's not an ounce of fat on him.
