Eating Too Much Fat--How Much Is Too Much?



Recommended Posts

So I hear you guys say this all the time..."My body doesn't like it when I eat too much fat..."

What is "too much fat."

What doesn't your body "like?" What happens when you eat it?

Are you sitting down to a plate piled high with beef fat? What does your meal look like when you eat "too much fat."

TIA! Inquiring minds and all...I really don't want to find this out on my own. I'd rather take your word for it and not put together troublesome meals.

Honestly I think it depends on each individual person but I know grease does not go well with my stomach or like I Love Teriyaki chicken I cannot eat a lot of that... sauces things like that just don't sit well with my stomach... trust me I think a lot of it is trial and error and you are definitely going to find the error of your ways...lololololo.. you'll be running for the bathroom

When grease/fat goes in, grease/fat comes right back out... that’s how I know it was too much fat.

I just stick with chicken Curry. The one think my body can't stand is Roast. My stomach will send that right back up even if I just eat a tiny bit of it because it's too heavy and the fat content is too high. You'll know it's too high if you do what I did or if you dump from it. If you have gotten the bypass.

My portions are tiny compared to anyone else's that I'm at the table with, since I'm the only one in either side of my family who had bariatric surgery.

Fluffy Chix, gotta love you. Enjoy your posts so much. Let me tell you my statistics.
Hw355 cw 329 my dream weight 170 or size 16. Ht5ft9in and nearly old enough to have dated Moses. We doubled with Methuselah and his sister, but I'm still gonna undertake the journey. May be one of my surgeons older patients but I'm gonna be a success just like the 20-30 year olds. Best to Mr Fluffy and Happy New Year!

Most fats don't bother me, really the only thing I've eaten that's had a negative impact is eggs (unless it's hardboiled), I'm in the bathroom within a half an hour.

I tried to 2 chicken wings with salt and pepper and that gave me severe gas and diarrhea. I think it's different for everyone. I used to love a good steak but now I can barely tolerate it. My stomach prefers fish, or lean chicken. I think it's a smell thing too.

I've had issues with high fat foods for a long time (before and after my gallbladder was removed). It hasn't changed much since my surgery. I end up spending more time in the bathroom. Yuck.

Whenever we get crab legs, I'm jealous of my husband who can dip his in butter. That's the one thing that will definitely make me sick!! I think the crab is still delicious without it, but I wish I could have a little of the butter!

Sorry to hear that. I don't dump it just gives me uncomfortable intestinal cramps for quite a while after eating them .

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
