Thanks everyone. Sounds a lot like me. It's such a suddenly big part of my life, eating or not, hungry or not!
I guess one of the weird things is that with alcohol, I was kind of an expert on my physical reactions, because I've been so sick for so long. I knew exactly what certain physical things meant, and I had my systems. And it was all very, very messed up what becomes normal. I have had more days than I can count where I thought something along the lines of "oh good, I only threw up once this morning and the bile was pretty pale, I'll be fine on this hike".
So now my body's doing all kind of weird and different things, and it's so much better. But it's out of my ken so it's fascinating me. I'm googling everything. And asking here too of course.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me!
