I got up to about 8L without urinating over about 90 minutes, but I also paused to belch, rub my belly, catch my breath, etc. At the time, I had a massive belly capacity and calorie intake. I doubt i handle that much now.
BloatKing:
How do you get that kind of capacity? I've done 8L of non-carbonated beverages in 2 hours, I couldn't possibly fathom going any more extreme
Honestly, years of overeating and stuffing were probably a factor. At the time, I also often pushed my belly capacity when I was stuffed by chugging soda. Doing so daily led to an enormous appetite and wild weight gain.

I discovered Fantasy Feeder about 4 years ago and it changed my attitude about my weight. I weighed about 210 pounds with a 46 inch waist and wore a XL size shirt. Just for fun I thought I would try to get to 220 pounds. Took me a while to get to 220. I started thinking more about food and my weight gain diet and learned a lot from other gainers here.
Now, four years later I'm 40 pounds heavier with a 54 inch waist and just bought four new 3XL shirts. I have enjoyed watching my love handles go from zero to two inches deep on my sides with a belly apron six inches deep.
I just re-set my weight goal from my current weight of 250 pounds to go up to 265 pounds. I thought I would be happy at 250 pounds, but strangely, I am not. I have to admit I'm addicted to gaining weight. I love getting on the scale to see I've gained another pound. I would imagine there might be a point where I might be heavy enough, but I notice I am admiring more and more the pictures of men who are 400 pounds or more. (I used to just look 200 to 300 pounders.)
What's strange is that the extra weight I have put on has made me less mobile, unable to put on socks or clip my toenails and sometimes I get a little winded - but I actually enjoy those changes! To me these are not problems but proud signs of me getting fatter. To me, getting fatter has become an erotic accomplishment.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
I would also welcome any encouragement as to how high I should set my weight goals or where I should consider leveling off, and, of course, any dietary changes that would help me gain (no high sugar diets, please.)
I think your experience is incredibly common. I was obese throughout childhood and my teen years. A few years ago, I intentionally lost weight, at one point reaching 190 lb, which was the smallest I'd been since middle school. Of course, compliments poured in, but I wasn't happy and felt like a stranger in my own body. When I decided to regain intentionally, I truly threw myself into it. The first 50 pounds I regained gave me an enormous rock hard potbelly, and I loved it. Previously, my weight was more distributed, and I was enamored with the fact I was gaining differently. I wanted to get bigger and see how far I could push it. I got into super stuffing, which rapidly increased my appetite and belly capacity (decreased my bank account significantly though!) During my most aggressive gaining spurts, I would regularly eat more than 20,000 calories a day, more if I was pushing myself. If I had a day in which I only ate 5,000 calories, I felt very hungry and deprived. Still, I was enjoying getting fatter and fatter, and I didn't want to stop until I had a medical emergency. I've made lifestyle changes since, though I've definitely had periods of indulgence and probably will in the future. Now though, my weight creeps upward regardless, even with cleaner eating and maintenance calories. I have some major mobility issues, and that contributes.
Do I have regrets? Yes and no. I love my body, and I like the way I look. I also wish I didn't have some of the health issues I live with. I know some of them could be addressed if I committed to lose weight and stuck with it. I haven't wanted to, so far, because again, I love being this fat .. but I'm aware it may be medically necessary in the future.
I said all that to to say, gaining is absolutely addictive and it can become very difficult to stop. I know for some folks health issues and immobility are a turn on too, and to each their own! But if that's not something you're interested in, I recommend pacing yourself, which you seem to be doing ,and keeping your muscles strong. I didn't, not consistently anyway, and now the trade-off is my lifestyle is much more limited than most. 30-year-olds.

By belly fat is soft on the outermost part, but it's a bit harder when you go deeper when touching it.
Is there a way to soften it up so it becomes more soft and jiggly?
I'm pretty obese, and you don't get to be my size without some softness and jiggle, but I still have a surprisingly firm belly for someone super sized, as though some squish is stretched tightly over a giant ball. I've also noticed, during my most extreme gaining spurts, the weight has almost exclusively gone to my gut. During more gradual gaining periods, I've gotten softer. This may not be the case for everyone, but I truly do think there may be something to the rate of gain

I haven't funneled in over 3 years, so I don't have my setup anymore. If I did, I'd share a picture. I had a free standing clothing bar, and I hung a plant hanger from it with a funnel in it instead of a pot inside. I gained quite a few pounds thanks to that contraption!

I've worked exclusively from home since the pandemic, and I haven't seen my coworkers in person since January 2023, when I was about 300 lb. In May, we have a mandatory team work retreat, and I'm concerned about logistics. Fortunately, I won't have to fly like some of our team members will, but the retreat entails 2 and 1/2 days in a hotel conference room. There is also a work dinner on the first night, and an optional social hour on the 2nd.
I'm not quite sure how to approach a request for accommodations, but I know I won't be able to fully participate. I'm 600 lb, and I have a very big midsection girth, which means I can't get into many cars. I also no longer drive, which means my husband will have to bring me to and from the venue. Additionally, I wouldn't dare sit in a standard conference room chair, and I also am unable to work at a conventional setup. If a computer is on the table in front of me, I would be unable to reach it because my belly protrudes further than my arms can reach. I have a special setup at home that includes a laptop stand and tray table, which I can maneuver into a comfortable and efficient position. Finally, the evening outings present a challenge. I'm not homebound, but I do choose restaurants carefully based on layout and seating. My company has arranged a shuttle to the destinations, which will present a challenge for me since I use a scooter and also need a sliding van door setup in order to get into a vehicle. Additionally, I use mobility aids to take care of restroom hygiene, and I struggle without my bariatric toilet seat, which is elevated and has reinforced grab bars on both sides.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can navigate this with my director? I want to attend, but my life is basically built around accommodating my size. Should I request accommodations? Should I gracefully bow out of the evening activities? All thoughts are welcome here!
Munchies:
Have you spoken to HR?
Not verbally, but I put in a request for accommodations today listing my need for bariatric seating as a starting point.
Munchies:
I would have a proper conversation HR and maybe your supervisor if you feel comfortable doing so. Either way, the only way forward is getting accommodations to attend or being excused completely.
I did, and HR was helpful. The person I spoke with is reaching out to the venue to see what accomodations can be made. I also had a high level conversation with my supervisor, explaining I've developed mobility issues and other needs in the past 2 or 3 years. She was kind, and she encouraged me to be open with HR about exactly what I need to participate. I will add, we have one other team member who isn't going because of a child with a chronic health condition, so it's not unprecedented to be excused if there aren't easy solutions. I did get the feeling my supervisor, who only sees me from the shoulders up, has absolutely no idea how big I've gotten. She may be about to find out that I've gone from "fat" to "the most obese person many people will ever see in real life".

Fun to revisit this, since I commented on this thread before, and since, I've gained about 200 pounds. I'm at about 595-598 currently, and I think I'm probably fatter than anyone I know in real life.
