Most days food just isn't on the top of my to do list. For the 32+ oz. vodka days, I MIGHT eat half a sandwich and freeze the other half to dine on the next day.
Weeks and years of this.
Even in the previous 4 years of 22 oz. days, I would rarely have a whole meal in a day.
I did take vitamins and fish oil caps. In the last two years I added an extra B vitamin cap, silymarin from milk thistle and L-glutamine as I mentioned before.
More recently I added a good digestive enzyme.
I have noticed in the last two weeks that I have desired more food. I eat it in small meals 2-4 times a day. To be honest, I feel a bit better when I do this AND I am limiting booze a bit, 23-27 oz. a day rather than 32-45 as I have often found myself taking in the past years.
The meals are simple and small. A cup of cottage and fruit or navy beans is fast, cheap, satisfying and has plenty of protein, something drunks are often missing. There is plenty of fiber too.
No more of this going to a local pig out place at 11:30 AM and staying till 1 nonsense either, or 2 dozen of those annoying TinyBurgers, supersize fries, big shake and two hot apple pies.
No, just small meals.
I have found that I can eat enough to feel better, not have hunger pangs and still not lose my alcohol haze, my anesthetic.
Other simple meals include a cheese sandwich, make mine toasted; a slice of meatloaf by itself; a piece of chicken or pork also by itself and forget the gravy.
I also use raw nuts that I toast myself in the microwave.
A small apple and a cup of buttermilk.
Low fat milk and crackers are around for when I don't feel like eating but feel like I should eat.
Those pesky hunger pangs need something to make them go away.
So that is it for now. The need to feed.
