Me, too. My weight's always been stable, and I work at it and exercise. Some tendency also to fluid retention. But since Covid Aug 22, gained 24 lbs and retain a lot of water all the time. Internal medicine told me yesterday it was my fault. I should go to a dietitian to look at my diet. He suggested I binge eat! He said only two reasons one gains weight: diet and/or exercise. I've always exercised to the limit of my ability. Not a good doctor. I'm so mad. And mad at myself I didn't set him straight. Good luck with b12. My energy's low, too.

I'm so sorry about this. Im running into the same problem.

I've been fit all my life and never had a problem losing or gaining weight.

Now with long covid I've gained 30 lbs and I'm stuck at the same weight no matter what I do.

It feels like mostly water weight which is why I'm going to a mens health clinic soon to check hormones since my PCP has no idea what to do.
