Nick, Some people need six small meals a day. I think that's the best thing for persons that are quadriplegic as we can't eat much at one time usually. Then you would not be hungry.
My stomach is bloated before I have my bowel routines each evening, but flat after that. I just eat breakfast, that being Bran chex and dinner which is usually fish, buffalo, chicken or turkey. I rarely eat beef, because the fat it contains. I eat a lot of salads and fruit and vegetables. I eat brussels sprouts almost every day. I try not be much bread at all. I never eat more than one piece with a sandwich. I eat macaroni were noodles occasionally. I first lost weight was Slim fast a number of years ago. My doctor just hated Slim fast. She preferred light Ensure. She also told me to always eat bran cereal for breakfast to prevent bowel blockages. A few years ago my bowels were not working and they prescribed a will or Robert are you remotely that stool stuff I use when I had that last bowel while walking we have on the camera set bottle of Miralax. The blockage finally moved but it was really miserable. My stomach looked like I had a basketball in it. It seems like it may have happened because they were not doing Digital's right. My mom had to come to the hospital. The rehab doctor tried to instruct the staff but it didn't do any good.. In a message dated 6/7/2010 9:55:33 P.M.

When I eat dinner in bed (fed by someone), even though I'm hungry, my body feels full even before I start. Then, before I have even eaten much, I'm full. But I'm still hungry. So, a couple of hours later, I'm hungry again.

It looks like if you poked me I would pop. I'm not over weight, fairly skinny arms and legs. I've been working out and watching what I eat. I feel like I'm pushing my stomach out trying to make myself look pregnant. But my belly is getting uncomfortable, when I try to bend forward, etc. I wish those Ab Belts that shock your muscles to tighten would work, but I heard they don't. It would be great if a doc could just go in there and tie every thing back up. I feel like all my inside stuff is lowering out of place. Even my abdomen binder does not help hold things in place.
