I'm taking percocet for pain from back surgery. I think the percocet is killing my appetite. Or at least it's changing what I find appealing to eat, and when I eat.
I'm using MyFitnessPal to track my food. I set my daily goal to 3,500 calories, but I can barely get to 3,000. I had a turkey and cheese on multi-grain bread sandwich for lunch and could barely choke it down. I brought a small container of aloo mattar (an Indian peas and potatoes in curry sauce) but I haven't touched it.
I gained a couple of pounds over the past week or two by forcing myself to eat, but I don't know how I'm going to gain 40 lbs at this rate!
Ideas?

This is probably weird topic but what is it like to be fat, what are the pros and cons. The reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking of gaining weight myself but I'm unsure at the moment.
As someone who was fatphobic, getting fat is a liberating experience. Why the change? It hit me that for all the diets I followed... everything from WW to just balanced portion control... I'm a fat guy. My body wants to be fat. Accepting that is a good feeling. I like feeling the blubber I'm accumulating, and want more. Those are a few positives.
Not too many negatives for me. My family, when I see them, always have something to say. I just give them a stare-down. Clothes are a challenge because I'm 5'5" with a 49" belly, 47-48" chest, 18" neck. I haven't gotten any snide comments from strangers because so many people in the US are overweight. My response would be "what mirror do you use?"

... I feel like fat cells also influence and change thoughts, because the fatter I got the more natural and wonderful obesity becomes.
...
For a fatty, which can hear the fat in his/her body calling the shots more and more, extreme obesity can become a pull and desire, because the belly wants to fatten more, it wants to take over even more.
I've thought about this a lot wondering if it's true, and I think it is. There has to be some kind of reciprocal thing going on between the brain and the body. If we are what we think we are, and if we see ourselves as fat, then we will be. Maybe we subconsciously eat more, but I don't know if that's it entirely. Every day I wake up feeling really pleased at how fat I'm getting, and getting greedy to gain a lot more.

The desire to get fat came on kind of late. I was about 46 years old. I found a post I made on a weightlifting site almost 14 years ago describing how I was tired of dieting and was just going to let myself be a fat muscle bear
During the time between then and now the desire came and went. But fat guys have turned me on for years and years, whether I was gaining or trying to lose weight, and secretly I wanted to be one of them. Two years ago I started eating with the intention of becoming as fat as I can handle.

I did for a long time. I was on weight loss plans and diets of all kinds. I thought I didn't want to be fat but I fantasized constantly about it. I admired and was envious of fat guys.
I fantasized about it so much that I don't know if I subconsciously sabotaged my diets, or the mind can change what the body does, i.e. make it store fat. All I know is that I think of myself as fat and getting fatter, and I am.

I'm nowhere near mine... current weight 225, first goal weight 250-260, ultimate goal weight 280-300.
They say the journey to anything is the fun part. So after you reach goal, what do you do except maintain? Is it sort of like the day after Christmas when the fun is over?
Just a curiosity I have.
