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

Back in college, I could do the most damage in private. A pint of Ben & Jerry's. 1/2 tub of icing. A jar of queso with corn chips. A frozen pizza. Two rows of Oreos. When I got married, I cut back, but the two of us still "put away" tons of food at one sitting. We'd rarely ever have leftovers, and we'd quickly fill the trash with pre-made food packages... It's hard to wrap our brains around that now, and dear hubby didn't have surgery (he's lost 65 lbs as a byproduct of being supportive ). It's like night and day for both of us.

Yeah, it's a little scary to remember what I used to put in my body with no regard for consequences. Now, I still sometimes have a problem with putting too much on my plate. I think I can eat it, then I get sick trying to. I'm working on that and I'm getting used to not eating ad much as my wife does and sharing an entree when we go out. Also. I never realized how many commercials and billboards are about fast food snd eating. Jeez. I'm a food snob now. Lol.

2 large pizzas from papa johns and 2 2 liter drinks with it.

Donuts, cake and pastries. I can put 6 donuts away without even thinking about it. Oreos? A whole package easy.

That was me too. I am a sweets freak. Oreos or warm homemade cookies and milk were my favorite and my curse. I can't believe how much sugar I used to consume. I could ear 20 of the toll house cookies at a time.

My favorite pre-op lunch? A dozen Buffalo Wild Wings (very spicy), with french fries, carrots with blue cheese dressing, and 4 large glasses of iced tea. Now? 4.5 oz of leftover steak and maybe a few green beans; and no drinking for 45 minutes. I enjoyed my eating more then, but I feel much better now. Bottom line? Now is better!

I'd eat pretty much the quantities that everyone else is mentioning BUT, I'd have a diet coke with it. Yanno, because that offsets it.

Even though I was 270 pounds I couldn't eat much in a siting. My largest meal was like a Chipotle Burrito or 3 slices of a large pizza. I never had more then 2 pieces of fried chicken. However. I could eat all day long. Every two hours or so. My danger foods were sweets. I could eat an entire home made apple pie. It would take the whole day but I would usually have the last slice before bed.

Now my refrigerator is Tiny Leftovers Land. There are so many tiny containers in there, all with food I would not have not even saved before. Who saves two tablespoons of mashed potatoes. I bought 4 potatoes last week. Well, one potato makes enough for 4 meals as a side. I still have 3 potatoes left. Next time I'll have to buy 2. I don't even have pots small enough to make one mashed potato. A can of Beans will last and last. Jeez, I'll have to freeze leftover beans because all I need is 6 or 8 beans at a time. I made Pasta with tomato sauce last night. One jar of sauce will last until next century.

I have not gone out to eat yet but but I fear the worst. An appetizer would still be huge for me. At this point costco tastings are my best bet. 99% of the restaurants would have ridiculous sized servings. I'll need to find some more upscale restaurants with the very small artsy servings. You know the ones with an entree comprised of a single scallop and a few bright and tasty sauces squiggled about. If that is not a first world problem I don't know what one is.

Welcome to the container club. I have my own section in the fridge with leftovers and homemade sauces. I have two fudge pops that have been in the freezer for three weeks. That was impossible pre op. I received my sugar free pecan sandies today and I immediately placed those in the freezer too,SMH. My hubby says that I hoard food now.

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!

I'm with u sister! Lol I never over ate. It was just the goods I ate were bad. lol

That's me. I didn't over eat. But I ate too high fat , high carb,high sugar foods, with little to no exercise.

I've eaten a pie at one sitting many times. When I think about that now, it hardly seems real!

I would actually go thru a drive thru and order 2 meals, hopeful theyd tgink the 2nd 1 was for someone else. Had to order the whole meal x 2 even tho the 2nd drink would go to waste cuz that would kiok hinky if i got 2 burgers, 2 fries and 1 drink.

Ah, my imaginary friend. I dont miss u

2 big mac burgers 2 cheeseburgers 2 large fries 6 nuggets and coke in one sitting

@@marfar7 I use to do the same !!!

I was never like this. But the most I ever ate before was a blimpie best sandwich. We always got a footlong and fully loaded.

I would easily eat the 6 inch and sometimes about 2-3 inches of the other half. I'd force it so it didn't go bad.

Since June I've bought 1

Hubby had the 6 inch and was stuffed. He's been cutting down for over a year.

I ate a whole inch slice of it

And then done for hours and hours.
