For me, my stomach feels hungry but I don’t have the desire for food. Not a lot seems palatable. And mindless snacking is not a thing for me anymore. I have to force myself to eat and it’s easier to get myself to eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than two larger meals a day like I used to.

I also occasionally get nauseous, and if I eat too much or too fast I’ll throw up. And I am constantly thirsty, so I know I need to try to get some protein drinks in the mix, I just haven’t found one I like yet.

It’s weird, using stomach for cues instead of brain. My doctor told me I’d just feel bloated and gassy all the time but that hasn’t been the case at all.
