hey guys, i was recently thinking about dieting alot lately and came up with a good idea. As we know, what we eat does have alot to do with being overweight, but also how much we eat. There is a controvercial surgical procedure that is becoming popluar, often reffered to as getting your "stomach stapled". In no way am i sugesting surgery, just the concept of the way it helps us. When people get this surgery they are only able to eat about 1 cup of food at each meal, plus like 1/2 cup snacks. I really think that this would work without going under the knife! Im gonna try it for a couple of weeks, plus im gonna eat very strictly and stay completely healthy. I will let yall know how it goes!

hayley, the whole point of this website is to support eachother, and its not your place to tell someone their an idiot for trying something. Also, arent you a little old to be calling names? Maybe you need to go back to your sandbox!

you're an idiot. the reason the people are able to only eat a cup of food is the fact that they GOT THEIR STOMACH STAPLED. which means that their stomach is about the size of a shot glass! that's the whole reason they GOT the surgery in the first place. god that is so obvious. you can't diet like someone who got their stomach stapled becase your stomach ISN'T stapled.

1st, in reply to katilyns post, lots of people only ead about a cup of food at a time. A hamburger from a fast food place(a small one) is a bout a cup of food. A peice of fruit is about ahlf a cup. but yea, you do have to be some what realistic when doing this. a cup of nuts for eaxample has about 600 calories. so, if you had three meals and three snacks your grand (or grande) total would be 2700 calories. not that you would actually eat 4 & 1/2 cups of nuts every day, but, keep track of WHAT your eating to. and remember, fresh veggie should have NO size limit

Kaitlyn, if you needed to eat more than that then they wouldnt have invented the surgery. Plus, i have enough will power to stick to it.

You need to eat more than that! It won't work b/c you will want to eat more than that, and you won't be able to. That is why people who get the procedure have to puke when they eat! Even they overeat!
