pouch packing



Recommended Posts

This question is like...Tell me how to use crack. Tell me how it makes you feel.

OF COURSE you don't want to know. If you are stuffing food down and eating "around" the band, then you are pouch packing. Simply a no no. Bad bad bad and it will get you nowhere fast.

Okay okay, I will break down and tell you....

Pouch packing is also known as "eating around the band". It is when you force in food because you want it rather than when you need it. It makes you feel all sickly full like you are a stuffed thanksgiving day turkey rather than satisfied. First you feel great because you ate all the food you wanted to, then you feel guilty... then you feel like crap because you over ate (we all know how that feels from pre band). When you take little sips of Water while you eat, you essentially push down the food from the upper pouch into the lower pouch, therefore eating more. Also, if you eat for 20 minutes, take a 10 minute break, eat more, then another 10 minute break, then more, and so on and so on.... therefore, "packing" your pouch and essentially overall stretching it as a muscle.

And about the crack...

"Crack" is the street name given to cocaine that has been processed from cocaine hydrochloride to a ready-to-use form for smoking. Rather than requiring the more dangerous method of processing cocaine using ether, crack cocaine is processed with ammonia or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and Water and heated to remove the hydrochloride, thus producing a form of cocaine that can be smoked. The term "crack" refers to the crackling sound heard when the mixture is heated, presumably from the sodium bicarbonate. On the illicit market, crack, or "rock," is sold in small, inexpensive dosage units. Smoking this form of the drug delivers large quantities of cocaine to the lungs, producing effects comparable to intravenous injection. These effects are felt almost immediately after smoking, are very intense, and do not last long. The physical effects of coke are the same as any other stimulant drug -- except that the first rush is possibly much more intense. The initial effects are pleasant, they give the user increased confidence, a willingness to work, greater motivation, increased libido, and a euphoric rush or high. Over time, and with regular use, people may get paranoid, anxious, and confused, and sometimes they hallucinate. Insomnia, agitation, and depression can also result from frequent cocaine use.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
