Mate can eat and eat and never gain

Does anyone else have this problem? I have lived with it for 18 years. He is slim and eats everything. I am fat and I eat diets all the time. I am planning to be banded as soon as the insurance process is finished. What will my eating (tiny bits) and his eating (large portions) be like? Does anyone have the same situation? I think one reason I am fat is that I make our plates look about the same. He burns it, I do not.

Hi there in Sunnyvale. I am only 10 days post op and do not know a lot about being banded. So far, I can only eat a small amount and feel full. Since I feel full it does not matter what anyone else is eating. The band will not let me overeat or eat to fast. I think you will find that also.

Good Luck!

Hi Sunnyone,

I know what you mean... my hubby and I have similar appetites as well and he still looks like a hotty... me... not so much! It sounds like he will be able to eat all of the stuff you will be too full for without any trouble! I think you will be full with your smaller amounts of food and you will be eating much slower so you both will be able to enjoy your meals differently but just as much as before! The one thing my Hubby and I have decided on is that after the surgery we will avoid buffets... in fact we are already avoiding them! He is practicing "mindful" eating right along with me.

Hey Sunnyone!!
I am in the exact situation! My fiance (of 8 yrs. !!!) can eat pretty much anything and not gain a pound. I can just watch him eat and gain all of it! I have been banded for about 1-1/2 yrs and the only problem is that sometimes i miss eating with him. Most of the foods that we enjoyed together i cant eat now. But he does take that into consideration and tries not to eat it infront of me. Most of my problem is emotional eating. I see him eating and just want to eat what he is eating.
