Ok question for my Veteran friends.
Any thoughts on why I am able to consume more food without the full feeling after my plastic surgery. Doesn't make sense and there is no biological reason for it to my knowledge. It concerns me that I can eat the quantity that I do. Food for thought, no pun intended.

Another "veterans" question.
Do any of you every get tired? I mean I know what I signed up for, I don't b**ch and whine about what needs to be done. I drink my water, take my vitamins and get off my duff.
