I know I've been able to eat some rather large amounts of food in the past...I'll give some examples of things I could put away in one sitting before starting this process:

1) Four bowls of Cereal

2) Cook a pound of bacon and eat the whole thing

3) 3 containers of Pringles

4) 1 pint of Haagen Daz ice cream

5) 12 pieces of fish and chips with a pop and massive tartar sauce (a mean intended at the fish and chip place to feed a family)

6) 3 grilled cheese sandwiches

7) chicken Teriyaki dinner with probably 1 lb of chicken/salad/sauce and 2 cups of rice...

8) One whole cheesecake (not the cheap kind either)

Anyone have any admissions to add

I could never make up my mind, so I'd get a double quarter pounder AND chicken nuggets AND a large soda AND large fries, sometimes ice cream, and then some. My mouth still wants all that, lol.

I've gone to one fast food place and get a meal, then go to another place and get some fries and then top it off with a frozen yogurt.

Oh....and pizza.....6 bread sticks and a half of a large pizza by myself.

The most I've ever done (and these are separate instances): two packs of ramen noodles; half a peperroni pizza; one container of chinese white rice and the meat picked out of a mongolian beef dish, with an egg roll on the side; double whopper combo; double quarter combo; two small pieces of pie with whip cream; 10 piece hot wings and small potatoe wedges; medium buttered popcorn and a coke icee at the theatre; two sandwiches.

Each one of those meals left me stuffed to the gills.

I could put away a half gallon of ice cream at one sitting. A large pizza. Dozens of large homemade cookies. Huge bags of Halloween candy I'd eat during the night. I'd wake up with chewed candy in my mouth. Such an ugly time.

I would never fry chicken at home, but on occasion when I was on a food binge, I would go to my favorite fast food fried chicken place, order the 10 piece, eat at least 4 to 5 peices sitting in the car, and finish most of the remainder in the next few hours. Of course all this would be followed by intense guilt and the promise to start a new diet.

Well this isn't FAIR!! I didn't get to eat huge portions like that EVER and I still got fat!! Wth?! I don't even drink soda! Dang my moms, moms, grandmas moms , genes!

Oh snap! I forgot about the fried chicken. I could smash a 3 piece, spicy, white meat from Popeyes. I could eat all 3 pieces and most of the side, and maybe one bite of the biscuit.

LMAO @@kimpossible67 with the chewed candy!

Sports bar me and friends went to...me and a buddy could polish off a 50 piece of wings in several hours with several pitchers of beer.

Reading this makes my little tummy hurt. lol

So as a new sleever, do you ever get to eat for enjoyment again?

It doesn't sound like much, but it was-- I was drunk in college at a chinese restaurant and I ordered an order of vegetable dumplings, and order of spinach wontons, and a large vegetable fried rice. The fried rice came out, and it was a mountain of fried rice-- easily a full meal for three people. I ate all of it.

But I'm three days post-op, and I'm eating for enjoyment TODAY. Talking with my wife, I said that things I'd been having were all on the sweeter side, and I wanted something really good and savory, and we have a carton of creamy tomato Soup, so my dinner just now was 3 oz of creamy tomato soup with a spoonful of cottage cheese, heated, and it was DELICIOUS. And I really enjoyed it. And now I'm full.

And that's exactly what I wanted my life to be like. I'm so satisfied with my surgery, and I haven't even started to lose the weight yet!

An entire pint of Ben & Jerry's. A mixing bowl filled with cereal. A whole big bag of Halloween candy. Half a pound of pasta. I'm sure I could go on, but you must get the idea. When I think of how much I used to be able to eat, I'm in awe and I'm sad. What was wrong with my stomach that I could literally keep down that much food all at once?!

I can't even read this thread. It's nauseating to imagine.

Yuck!

What was WRONG with us?!?

@@VSGAnn2014 food doesn't talk back, if you eat the things you love it delish and comforting, it's so readily available, 24 hrs a day, we get hungry like normal people, just about every social gathering involves some type of food, and the list goes on. What was wrong with me? I simply taught myself to eat large quanties of food. I also ate to comfort myself through a horrible marriage and losing my closest family members. We are, hopefully, all getting better.
