How did it come about that you weighed so much? You were underweight as a kid...
Reiner Calmund: I've always liked to eat. My mother worked in a bakery and always brought all the goodies with her. But as a child I moved a lot, played soccer, so I burned everything. That later changed. I continued to eat a lot – but moved very little.
There are people who say you look worse now than you did with the pounds. What do you answer them?
Reiner Calmund: My wife said that at first too. I felt better from the start. My wife said that not only did I look worse, I was also in a worse mood. I never felt that way. But now everything is fine again. Says my wife too.
And how is your relationship with nutrition now? Did the OP change that?
Reiner Calmund: I used to like hearty food. That has changed quite subconsciously since the operation. I now like lighter food, eat a lot of vegetables and fish or salad. My taste has already changed.
