Thanks! I’ve been to a few doctors over the years, and they didn’t find any specific diagnosis. It was really a problem during my adolescence, at first delayed, then bang-o (and then I had all kinds of other things to worry about). Now that I’m past all that things have settled down, and my doc says I’m doing well. This is just my normal, he says.
Fair enough! Keep this in the back of your head though if you ever become critically injured or sick - daily caloric requirement goes up when you’re recovering from something, so yours specifically might be even higher than that already-higher-normal.
There comes a point where eating anything just feels gross cuz you’re already stuffed, so you’d have to start being strategic about meal/snack timing, and prioritizing high calorie foods and drinks. Hopefully your team would have access to your history in that situation, and account for that shit from square one, but YOU are your best advocate, so don’t be afraid to prod them if needed.
…and sorry lol, been doing a fuck ton of nursing school homework the past few weeks, so my brain is still in nurse mode when I hop on Lemmy. You’re basically an NCLEX question! :P
