BIG FAT PEOPLE!



Recommended Posts

When I look at all the postings talking about being addicted to food' date=' I just get so angry at our food industry and how they process foods with high fats, sugars, and salt. The old mighty buck has contributed to the majority of obesity in our country today.... So sad..... I have been pretty good about staying away from these things by staying with foods from the earth with very little processing but find myself looking for the sweet taste of sugar. went on vacation and ate out most of the time and those foods are highly contaminated with all the processes out there...... Time for me to get back to eating just the basics.......... (sighhhhhhhhhhh)[/quote']

Amen, sistah!!!!!!!!!

Please also take into consideration that some overweight people are not so much an addict as their bodies crave more food for energy as it takes more food to support. Cycle effect more weight more food more weight.

But really I've reported her about 20 times already...

I'm absolutely positive. I've received an email from her and she was trying to get fraudulent funds from me. I don't like it when people try to deceive me this way......So she is a troll :angry:

Oh and I have reported her to the board......

Did I get your attention??? :P

Ok' date=' curiosity... when I answer posts here, I am always coming from a perspective of a "food addict"

But many times I have people write back...

"But I don't have an addiction to food"

Which I always think to myself YEAH RIGHT!

Don't beat me up I'm being honest!!

What can I say I'm pessimistic, I also laugh when people say they don't eat TO MUCH so they don't understand how the are fat.. I AM FAT BECAUSE I EAT LIKE A PIG (alone mostly)

Today I thought about, "what if I'm wrong?"

I mean...I am me and I am addicted, how do I know how the next person is???

I'm curious as an addicted fat person how is it for those of you who are not addicted?

Oh and on a side note if I am wrong, then I'm also jealous because I would give anything not to have this problem (addiction)[/quote']

it just blows me away how "perfect" some of the journeys have been for different ones...hmm!

But on that note I'm still curious about the

People that say they don't have addictions to food,

And are fat (and not because of medical problems) and are getting this surgery.

I'm with you. It's baffling to me to think that those who "don't eat much" and have "medical problems" will have much success with this surgery. This procedure limits your intake, it doesn't solve any other issue. How can this WLS suddenly be a miracle fix to thyroid problems or PCOS if you are already eating the right things in the right quantity.

Or, if it works for the first 6 months or so, will all the weight be gained back once your stomach is healed and you can ingest more than a few ounces?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
