Anyone else experience Weight Gain with long COVID?

Posted by RMS @rinadbq, Oct 8, 2021

I have had ~30 pound weight gain since November 2020 when I initially had COVID. It seems disproportionate to my calorie intake. Any one else with this?

Meds may contribute to weight gain. My weight has fluctuated greatly since Covid. At start of Covid I was overweight. Covid made me lose my appetite and I lost 50 lbs from 2020-2022. My docs have told me some of the meds I am now on (for seizures and mood) contribute to weight gain. Since being put on these meds a year ago I have regained 20 lbs.

I lost my Appetite and while in the hospital was basically force fed. I was in the hospital for two weeks and almost died. Happy to be alive but not happy with the weight gain. My doctor wants me to get on Wegovy but I can’t afford that.
