    What most people don't understand is that fat cells don't actually GO anywhere. They shrink and swell, they're just storage containers.

  • Pretty sure it has been used for fuel for me. I've got plenty more.....nice to know I could exist in a cave....with some fresh Water, firewood and Protein and winter just fine. Onboard fuel source,

I think the same Inner Surfer Girl. Years ago I was told by one of many of my weight loss coach's, that the reason you need to drink 64oz of Water at the least that your fat is like ash when you are losing weight and the water is what flushes it out. So I always have been a huge water drinker until I had my RNY and due to the smallness of our pouch I have a really hard time drinking enough water. It is so much better now that I am 3 years out. I can swig it like a champ. LOL

I knew that PorkChopExpress, from my many days of different diets. I had a DR tell me that if you make fat cells they never go away. You can fluff em back up totally easy to do!! LOL

My theory is that it turns into gas. I swear, I'm 1000 times more flatulent than before surgery.

Is it just me? It's embarrassing because I rarely had gas before, but now it's ridiculous. I wake up and feel like I'm depressurizing.
