My stomach took about a fortnight to adjust which is a common thing, though I have heard stories from some who never manage it somehow.

I used to be a foodie but as someone who also struggled with eating disorders taking much of the joy and choice out of food actually helped me stabilise things and took away a lot of stress.
The 'mechanical' part of it serves me well, even if it's somewhat dull. But I do venture into the world of regular food now and again.
