Because of my abdominal pain, I don't get hungry (I feel full all the time,
and usually have to force food). Is absence of hunger "normal" among quads, or
am I just different? *adh*

Dear Alan,
I'm glad to find out I'm not the only quad who doesn't feel hunger
that much. I guess it must be rather common with us. Most of the
time it seems like I eat only because I HAVE to, just like breathing.
It's nice at times to feel hunger when I do, but it's not too often.
Anyway, your not alone.
Tim

viva la difference
I look forward to each meal with gusto. If left to my
own desires I would weight a ton.
However, I just grit my teeth and eat in moderation. I
consider fruits and veggies as free foods and do consume an above
average number of carrots, pears, apples, lettuce, cabbage, etc
Like everything ele, I think it depends on the individual
and is really not related to quadness or the absence of quadness.
Now there's a new word.

Sometimes it's loose, and I get reflux (heartburn) with lots of gas -- other times food piles up in the esophagus unable to get into the stomach, and I can't eat a bite to save nyself. The one thing that seems to help is drinking LOTS of water -- washes everything down where it belongs, I guess.

I think you might be right in it being emotional. When I
don't feel well, I don't feel like eating either.
