Stopped smoking pot amp; finding it hard 2 eat, why? -

Stopped smoking pot amp; finding it hard 2 eat, why? -

i was looking for info on it but found somebody else saying the opposite that they pig out when they stop.

i had to forced myself to eat soup 2 days ago.. kept eatting a bit and putting it back and eatting a bit more later.. end of the day n i ate about half of the bowl of soup.. could only handle a couple spoon fulls @ a time.

yesterday was a bit better.. i tried to start eating solid food again forced myself to eat about the same amount as i did the soup the day prior(half bowl)..

today i had a pear w/ my left over half bowl of solids from yesterday 4 lunch - finished it all in about 2 hours - plan on trying to eat more later.

just wondering what factors come into play that determine if you willl eat a lot or if you will have trouble eatting? or if you can have any control over it..I-ve been through the same thing...and at first its going to be hard..first and foremost when the THC are in your system it heightens your sensations hence increasing your blood flow making your digestive system more functionable. When you stop smoking weed for a period longer than a day, your body will be require less food because your blood is not flowing as it shud be therefore your stomach capacity is reduced.

You will be able to eat small portions but get full quicker. Followed by intense hunger that will be satisfied by a surprisingly small amount of food. The best bet for you is to eat smaller portions more frequently and work your self up back to your normal appetite.it just depends on your metabolism and how your body handles change. For your case, your body works differently without running on the harmful influences that pot can make to it.
i don-t know if this answer was sufficient enough, but just keep working at it.
you will probably not be able to eat the same way you ever did again, but you can get close.

just make sure you stay off weed or pot so your body can get used to NOT having it in it-s metabolism to deal with.
Have you ever thought about this: You may have a problem with your stomach. The way pot works is it is an anti-inflammatory and it works on the brain. If you have a problem that causes your stomach to swell and you smoke pot, you-ll think that your stomach is not swollen and you-ll eat and eat and eat . . . But, you know it also may be true that you eat more if you quit, but the same thing is true with cigarettes. Your stomach is filled with smoke when you smoke and when you quit, your stomach is not filled with smoke anymore.I found the same with myself actually. Pot makes you have the munchies constantly so you are eating most of the time when you are high. I think personally it throws things out of wack so when you do stop smoking your body has to get used to things once more. Just eat what you can for now and you will find that soon you will be able to eat normally once again. At least It did for meI used to have the same problems when i ran out of weed. I completely lost my appetite and was usually nauseous especially after forcing some food down. I think it might be because of how weed eases nausea and causes the munchies. Your just going to have to deal with it for a while bro.
Wierd thing is there more i smoked sh*tpiles in a short time and then had to stopp the less noticeable the symptoms were(well exept the desire to smoke)
ANyway good luck and good job on kickin the habitIts because the pot was making you want to eat and now you have stopped your urge to eat has gone,id say to you dont think about food or try to eat and then you will want to eat again,most of this is in your head so the best thing to do is not stress about it and think of your most favorite food you will soon get hungary againWhen you smoke pot regularly your eating habits change. So when you stop then it is only natural that they change then as well. I know if I didn-t smoke it I would eat so much less. Same thing with liquor for me. Don-t know....go to google type in -how does pot effect eating habits?- see if you find anything. Hope this helped!you must have smoked a shitton of weed dude.

just drink a lot of water (more than you think) and take some niacin pills (found by the vitamins etc. in like walmart) to kick-start your metabolism. you-ll be fine dude.I hear ya. I may not have to force feed myself, but i do notice that my appetite is low on the days that i don-t smoke.Maybe your body is not used to -getting hungry- on it-s own. And your taste buds are not heightened anymore. Try some caffeine, that should get your hunger going....it does mine.start smoking pot again dumbassguess your body isn-t used to artificial munchie cravings anymore. it needs time to readjust. lolbecause when your stoned it gives you the munchies and it makes anything taste 100% betterNever heard of that before.Be grateful that thus far this is the only side-effect. Best of luck man.Maybe you should quit METH too. Hope this helps.withdrawal from a drug is going to be unique for each individual.
