Try stuffing over two or three days. Basically every hour or two eat another small meal or large snack, and then stuff as much as you comfortably can before going to bed and when you get up.

This way you fill not just your stomach but your whole digestive system. For me it can swell me up much more than a single huge meal.

I'm your height, cycle a lot, and am about 225 currently. For me around 210 I had to move from drop handlebars to a more upright bike to give my belly more room, but otherwise I do fine for bike commuting. So I don't really see a problem there.

Healthiest gain takes time, and is basically just more of all the god stuf. But if you don't mind abusing your blood sugar, I think pop tarts are the highest calories for money, eating time, and convenience. A box of eight is 1600 calories, available at corner stores, fits in a back pack, and you can knock back abtart or two any time you have a quiet minute.

Dumplings.

I'm sure a lot of us felt like that! I was kind of jealous of him....

5'8", 227lbs, 42s from regular stores are all tight. One pair of 44s from a fat guy store are a bit loose. Back atmy more typical 210 - 215 the 42s fit fine. Way back when I was about 200/205 I was ok in 40s.

I'm short waisted and carry my weight mostly up front. Currently where I wear my trousers measures 46" when relaxed. My widest point is a bit above the navel, and is almost 48". Closer to the hip I'm more like 44"..... Basically keeping pants up is impossible, I'm always having to hoist them back up!

If you are a certain degree of fat, you jiggle. Maybe you only jiggle a little, in a couple of places, occasionally, maybe you jiggle every time you move, but you jiggle. This is something that thin guys will never experience, and thin women will only experience in a very localized area.

There are no doubt a lot of other things that one experiences when fat, that a thinner person never feels. Please chime in, I'd love to make a good sized list! (I'm thinking of this as a positive thing, but I guess really any uniquely fat related sensation is fair game)

Aside from jiggling, a couple of others that I've noticed even at my (some jiggle in a few places, when I'm bouncing) size:
- If my shirt is tucked in just so, when I walk at a good clip the bottom of my shirt moves back and forth with my hips, while my belly twists in the opposite way, so that shirt slides back and forth over my belly.
- When I sit, my belly hangs over my belt quite a bit. So I feel the edge of my belts, how narrow/sharp they are, and how stiff they are.

What do you feel that a thin person wouldn't?

You are right....if you look around the boards you'll find a lot of fantasies about the 'evil feeder' kidnapping someone and forcing them to get fat, or things like that.

Note that a lot of hte people who have those fantasies will choose not to get fat on their own, but other will in varying degrees.

Also, you can get a little fat, medium fat, etc. Giving in some doesn't have to mean you give in all the way and grow huge.

Good to hear from a pro, Omi Guno! I'm done with my gaining jag for now ( .....I think) but I'll keep that in mind if I try it again

And Otherland, I think part of the key might be to do it in the evening (so have all night to digest), and to have an eating plan for the next day, so that even if you aren't all that hungry you still pack in the calories?

My belly is big enough that tying up my skates is brutal. Only way to do it really is sitting on a low bench and leaning way over, and all that belly doesn't leave much space for breathing!

On the one hand, I’ve been hovering near my highest ever weight, and would like to push through to solidly set a new personal high this weekend (after which I’ll drop a bit). On the other hand, I’m working on a story that includes some deliberate rapid weight gain that I want to be a realistic as possible. On the third hand, I’ve read some claims from people, and read in stories by others, about people consuming some pretty crazy weight gain drinks in large quantities, and I wondered if these could be real.

So yesterday I decided to do an experiment. In the morning I picked up a box of chocolate cake mix and half a litre (just over an American pint) of half-and-half (10% fat cream). I mixed in maybe a fifth of the cake mix with the cream, and drank it. My findings were that:
1) It was amazingly delicious!
2) Although I’d had breakfast only an hour before, it went down very easily.
3) Afterwards I felt a bit of a sugar buzz.

Overall, that little bomb of around 800 calories wasn’t too bad.

Then in the evening, about an hour after a full supper, I mixed over half the cake mix with a litre of heavy cream (18% fat), and drank that (I didn’t have an appropriate container to mix it all at once, so actually made up three large glasses sequentially). My findings were that:
1) Still delicious. Even the third glass was pleasant to drink.
2) Again it went down pretty easily. Probably best not to have dragged out the process, because afterwards my body objected heavily to the mere thought of food, but I think it was reacting to the sugar and fat, not physical fullness (I felt only a little bloated)
3) I felt weird and off for the rest of the evening. Sugar rush and crash was no doubt part of it, but I think my body was also confused by the sudden infusion of ridiculous amounts of sugar and fat.
4) I felt like I was exuding chocolate, and even this morning my burps tasted of chocolate cake mix to me.
5) I had weird dreams all night, probably from the heaviness in my digestive system.
6) This morning I still felt revulsion at the thought of anything remotely high in fat or sugar (it was raisin bran with skim milk for breakfast, and a low fat bran muffin for snack, lol!)

This calorie bomb was more like 3000 calories! I’m not generally a big consumer of sweets, so I may be more sensitive to sugar than a lot of other people, I think someone who more often consumes big hits of sugar would probably be more comfortable with the resulting ride than I was. The chocolate after effects could have been my imagination, and were anyway not severe enough that they’d be a real issue for most people.

Doing it earlier in the day would give more time to digest before bed, but might also make it hard to then eat a substantial supper? Of course, it is also possible that with practice you’d get used to being loaded with fat and sugar as you slept, and wouldn’t be bothered as much.

Being disinclined to eat rich food this morning could be overcome with discipline, I imagine. If I was trying to pack on serious weight I’m pretty sure I could have followed my cereal with what I had yesterday morning—I wouldn’t have looked forward to it, but I’m sure I could have managed it.

Overall, yah, doing a full litre of heavy cream mixed with cake mix—or other high calorie mix—seems entirely realistic. I could imagine someone doing it daily if they were really trying to pack on the pounds, but I think it would take discipline to keep doing that and eating heartily the rest of the day. Mind you, using half-and-half instead of heavy cream, or doing half a litre twice a day, would probably make it much easier to blend in with also eating ‘normally’ (for a gainer!).
