I have a friend who is very skinney, she is a bit over 95 pounds, she is 5'3. And is 21 yrs old. SHe is not anorexia or anything, she just cant eat for some reasons.. She is smoke pot alot so that possible effect her weight.. Anyway she trys to eat but her stomach is too small and fills up quickly.. Anyway It got me wondering, how long does it take for a stomach to downsize? (downsize i mean strink) and how long does it take for a stomach to upsize (become bigger). If anybody know, could u tell me pls?

mods.. i know this doesnt belong to this place, but I cant see any place to put this in. So u are welcome to put this in a approiate place.
 
Perhaps its not necessarily her stomach's size, but that she has a fast metabolism, and he body burns fat alot faster than most. I've never heard such cases of enlargening or decreasing the stomach's size and ability to take in more. Perhaps alittle weight gain product from GNC?
 
i have high metabolism. and there's no difference between stomach size.

i tried my best gaining weight.. but there's no luck.. i don't smoke cig, pot, or any drugs.. but i do drink beer and drink once a while.

i also eat as much meat, fat, etc.etc.. as i can.. still no luck. and yeah i eat 5 meals a day, i normally order 5 roast beef from Arby's and eat them all for lunch, and eat a whole hamberger helper, and list goes on.

i assume its just a typical body style.. having high metabolism stuck with it for life i suppose.. and honestly its not good idea to try to force urself to gain weight.. because those will cause some blood clots in ur heart, neck, brain.

Another thing is, if she smokes a lot of pot, I'm kind of surprised, seeing as pot raises your hunger.
 
The only thing I can say, stop smoking pot. If she doesn't have any health problems and it's not worth smoking pot. There are products that will help her weight gain because she's underweight by her height standards, if that's what she wants.
 
i know that.. she will be seeing a doctor soon.. but i mean i know that if someone doesnt eat like anorexia people, their somach strinks.. or if someone eat way to much their stomach gets bigger..
 
it may be not only smoking alot pot or high metabolism, what about her life and happiness or sadness and depress, stress and e.t.c.
I agree with cybered wait after having children, one of my classteam was and has a son at 24, now its opposite, she is watching her weight not to get overweighted, LOL
But better to see DR to make sure she is healthy :)
 
I think that she is starting to have a health problem. It could be a liver or stomach problem. I also think that she is going to try some cocaine because this reminds me of my sister's friend who smoked a lot and later used cocaine. Her friend passed away a couple of years ago because of cracked cocaine (poison).

Another woman that I know, she had a stomach operation to remove some of her stomach because some functions in her stomach were not working (some areas were rotten). She used to be a very very thin. After the operation, she looks still thin, but not very thin. She knew that it is her fault that she smoked a lot (cigarattes) for many years. Now, her health is not getting better... she is 55 years old. Actually, she looks 70 years old. Now, she carries a pee bag for rest of her life. Your friend needs to see a doctor and check out with her stomach to make sure that it's ok.
 
You might want to get your friend to go to the doctor. Whether or not she has an eating disorder, a drug problem, or another medical problem that is causing her weight loss, she needs to be seen by a competent physician who can give her the help she needs.
