Where I talk about my blorb, Toshinori Yagi/All Might. Headcanons and questions welcome! I will talk about ships, my headcanons (any headcanons asked of me) and anything else to do with him.
I will post anything and everything to do with All Might. Feel free to ask questions, submit ideas or topics you want me to talk about or more!
Thing may get to some mild NSFW topics and NSFW fanfictions! Please be warned!
I will *not* talk about minor Ć Adult ships, I will not talk about other peoples fanfiction or art (unless the creator gives me full permission.)
I will talk about my own Oc Ć All Might.
I will talk about and show my own art and my fanfictions.
I will talk about common headcanons and my own headcanons.
This is not a place for shipping discourse, or fighting about what is the "better" headcanon.
ALSO my headcanons are and will be contradictory! Take none of this as canon or somthing I believe will be canon. I know full well some of these are not and will not be canon, I just enjoy thinking of the possibilities!
One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work thatās just. Devastating. Like youāre sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Letās do it.
the number 1 rule of fanfic is have fun and be yourself. the number 2 rule is the average healthy adult male can lose roughly 2 liters of blood before dying.
What foods do you think Toshinori can and can't eat?
If you donāt mind, Iām going to use this post as an overall explanation of Toshinoriās diet, including what he can and canāt eat, as well as some other info.
So after a gastrectomy, the stomach (or lack thereof) wonāt be able to hold as much as it used to. A food quantity thatās normal to him wouldāve been too much. So instead of 3 large meals, Toshinori needs to eat 6 or more small meals a day. That way he still gets the correct amount. (Ideally)
Directly after surgery, he might have only been able to eat 1/2 to 1 cup of food at a time. It is possible to eat larger portions less often, but it would take several months, and it may never be something his body can do.
Chewing food well is key. The stomach typically does the digesting for you, but since his is missing, the body has a harder time doing so with large chunks of food. Chewing every bite thoroughly will aid in digestion.Ā
Eating slowly helps getting too full at once, feeling uncomfortable, and Dumping.Ā (Iāll go over that farther down)
Toshinori should sit upright at meals, not snacking while lounging on the couch. It helps food go in the right direction. And he shouldnāt lay flat for 2-3 hours afterwards.
The last meal should be at least 2 hours before bedtime.
He canāt drink much of anything during a meal, no more than 4 ounces (or half a cup), and no excess drinking 1 hour before and 1 hour after meals. Drinking may fill him up faster, and make him not be able to eat as much as he needs. It also helps prevent a Dumping episode. Itās not that he canātĀ drink, he just has to do so in moderation.
Protein is needed every meal. Good sources are eggs, meat, poultry, fish, nuts, milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, peanut butter, and tofu.
Stay away from alcohol.
NOW THAT BEING SAID
There may be food intolerances that he can no longerĀ āstomachā har-har see what I did there
Some people find their bodies cannot handle certain foods. Eating or drinking such foods or drinks can cause Dumping. Sometimes the initial intolerance is at first, and then eventually goes away with time. But other times, itās permanent.Ā So these are some things he may not be able to eat anymore:
Sugar intolerance: candy, cane sugar, honey, syrups, cakes, cookies, etc.
Dumping Syndrome occurs when food moves too quickly in your small intestine, eating or drinking something high in sugar, or by eating too much at once. Symptoms typically start 10-30 mins after eating, but late Dumping Syndrome can start 1-3 hours later. Some people may go through both.
This isnāt something that only occurs right after surgery, it can happen years later. It can be a reoccurring issue if trying to experiment with diet. Or if the body decides it doesnāt like something or becomes intolerant to whatever was eaten.
Symptoms of early Dumping include: feeling bloated or too full after eating, flushing, rapid heart rate, dizziness, lightheadedness, cramping, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Symptoms of late Dumping include: rapid heart rate, sweating, flushing, dizziness, lightheadedness, anxiousness, shaky, weakness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
As far as what Toshinori may or may not be intolerant to, Iād say a large possibility is lactose. Here in Vigilantes ToshinoriĀ is hesitant but still accepting dairy products from the recent dairy farm he saved. He canāt turn away a thank you gift. He sweats nervously as he downs a whole mug of milk, and then eats a single slice of cheese cake and a butter cookie at the personās request. But has to decline any more, saying that heās had way too much dairy already (and will probably be reaping the consequences later).
I feel itās highly possibly he has other things he canāt tolerate anymore as well, hard to say what all for certain. Personally, given his emaciated appearance, I think itās safe to say things with a lot of sugar donāt agree with him, and certain if not all fats are probably in the same boat. He probably relies on a lot of protein to keep up his muscular body, but heās even slimmed down in hero form as well. Easy to say his diet is very strict. This doesnāt mean he doesnāt go outside it now and then, but you can bet he pays for it later.
Losing weight unintentionally is something people with gastrectomies can face. This can be corrected by changing diet along with a Dietitianās help. However, given how extraordinarily busy All Might was, the man had no time to sleep let alone worry about food. I believe time was a big factor in his severe weight loss. Trying to figure out a diet he can tolerate that will still give him the energy he needs, while also being fast to bring along if necessary. And then enough small meals to make it through the day. Yeah. That doesnāt sound like it happened most of the time. And Vigilantes again shows us how he really did never have time to eat, but at least he had a cafe downstairs to rely on from time to time. (Honestly, heās probably a regular).
Thereās also the factor of Toshinoriās other injuries as well. His stomach wasnāt the only organ damaged in the fight. There are no doubt other complications with multiple organs and their function, most likely also contributing to his malnourishment.
And then, of course, thereās the Depression. Iām sure All Might tried to eat to keep his strength up enough to work. But I also know heās been depressed for several years (evident of even the little backstory we have of him). Not wanting to eat is a common symptom of depression. The feeling of not being worthy to even eat and fuel your body. This most likely increased in the later years after his injury. It could have started then, who knows for sure, but it also doesnāt seem out of his character to skip a meal or two when someoneās in danger. And who would know that All Might wasnāt eating?
This got a tad long, but I hope this helps explain his situation better!!
