Starvation is a ferocious and evil cycle, just like dehydration - it makes you nauseous, which limits the amount of food you're actually able to eat, which in turn makes the whole situation worse.
Basically, that's what I had to deal with BIG TIME, especially after my gallbladder was surgically removed (which took place about a month ago). For the past four or five years I have experienced heartburn and/or nausea so bad that it's been nearly impossible for me to eat anything, especially the past year, so I basically ended up almost starving myself to death. I didn't realize how sick I was until after surgery - my mom even started getting very worried and one night a few days ago she straight out told me that she was afraid that I was going to die. That scared the crap out of me and ever since then I've tried to eat more food in hopes that it will help me feel better. The past few days I have been feeling less nauseous anyway, which is nice. I still get severe heartburn which usually ends up causing nausea, and yes, it drives me insane, but at least I know I'm eating.
So all of you reading this, please always eat. If you have troublesome acid reflux and/or a hiatal hernia like I do, eat anyway because if you don't you will end up far more miserable than you could ever imagine. People say starvation is the worse way to die and I'm sure it is, because I had a little taste of it and I know it is pure hell. EAT!!! :)
