Posted by Samurai problem with gastric bypass is that once you go back to normal, your body chemistry is still the same as it was and you bloat right back up again. For some people, though, it works well. |
Posted by splumer That's the point, though: you don't go back to "normal." |
Posted by SaraBellum Your relationship with food is still the same, though. A friend's mom nearly died having gastric bypass surgery. After it was over, she managed to gain the weight back because her eating habits were so unhealthy and her stomach stretched to accomodate. |

Posted by trent I think that's a huge part of it. Often when people try to lose weight, they've been overeating for a long time. So when they get around to eating healthy and 'normal' sized meals they still feel hungry as their stomach is still stretched out. It takes a good week or two to shrink a little bit so when you eat that normal proportioned meal you actually feel full. But then again some people just like to overeat and go past that full felling to 'really full' thus stretching the stomach and making them need more food to feel full in later meals. The longer you force your self to eat non-huge proportions, the easier it guys. Just like running at first sucks, but get easier. Pro-tip: Get a prescription for Ritalin. You can go days with out feeling hungry |
Posted by splumer Dang! Have you thought about gastric bypass surgery? My wife had it done and lost like 130 pounds. I still have trouble recognizing her. |
Posted by Samurai this is my problem because I am used to eating FAST. Shael can vouch for this. She's still eating and I sitting there bored. It's hard because working in an industrial environment, you're used to eating on a schedule... it just carries over. you'd be surprised at how hard it is to unlearn that shit. |
