Digestion and eating post covid

Does anyone else out there have lack of appetite but still have sense of smell and taste ? My sense of smell and taste are fine, I just have no appetite, and when I do eat I feel full right away (early satiation). I have lost 50 lbs since Covid in 2020. My doctors ask if I can smell or taste, as if that is the only way Covid could case loss of appetite. I suspect some of us have lost our appetite but still have sense of smell and taste intact. It feels like the brain-gut connection is broken. I don't receive signals to eat, or I no longer recognize them.

I never lost sense of smell or taste. Sometimes when I smell
something cooking I get some appetite but the majority of the time I don't have an appetite and therefore force my self to eat.
