How Many Meals Do You Consume a Day
I’m on a pretty normal diet, but I rarely need three full meals a day. I’m usually good with a full lunch and dinner, and then snacks a couple times a day. By the time I’m up and ready in the morning I just have time to grab something quick, and then I work up until lunch.
What about you all? How many meals do you eat on a typical day?

One or two small meals depending on my appetite.

Gotcha. Do you feel pretty filled up from doing the overnight feeding tube? I’ve never used one, so I’m curious what kind of feeling it leaves you with.

Yes, and it has become more so over time. Like when I was in school, I usually ate breakfast, but for the last few years, I’ve rarely had an appetite till afternoon. These days, I often wake up feeling bloated with liquid is the best way I can describe it. It doesn’t feel good, but if I miss my tube feeds I’ll literally be on death’s door. I’m not sure what, if anything I can do about it.

Yeah I usually don’t have too much for breakfast either. By the time I’m up and ready for work it’s close enough to lunch. I also eat a lot for lunch.

I was never a breakfast eater either. Another thing I couldn’t wrap my head around is how people snack so much. One thing I’ve noticed with Spinraza though is that I snack more often. Feeding tube just doesn’t satisfy me, so I do cheat with snacks quite often.

I’m like DeAnn, I’m not much of a breakfast eater. Yesterday when I went to go see my pulmonologist, my caregiver and I got there about an hour early so we went to the cafeteria and we both had breakfast. I usually just eat lunch around 2 o’clock in the afternoon, and I’m good to go for the rest of the day. Every once in a while I may eat a banana or something small just to tide me over, but for the most part, one meal a day is all I need.
