Hunger Pangs and Other Musings

I am wondering about having hunger pangs emanating from my (then) detached stomach. It isn't ever going to be filled again normally, so how does that work? I mean, a 1/2 cup pouch will fill up pretty darn quickly and there will be poor, sad, big tummy wondering where her food is. How does she not start screaming her head off? Will it "growl" endlessly?
Will I still get hiccups? How do I take all of my daily medications without totally filling my pouch several times over? I don't want to stretch it out, since I'm going to that kind of trouble to make it this way. What do you do with medications that have to be taken with food?
