how do you feel when you eat too much...



Recommended Posts

Miserable is the short answer. I've only done it a few times (usually from eating too fast to recognize that I'm full in time) but it is an unpleasant twenty minutes or so while I'm waiting for everything to settle!!!

I don't feel pain when I'm full, just pressure. It is a little uncomfortable when I take that "one bite too many" and I can feel a burp worm its way around the food to get out. I've always been real careful about not eating until I make myself sick. I've come close a few times and that was close enough for me.

I feel pressure in my lower chest. Gaggy. Mouth full of extra saliva. Burps feel like there may be more to them than just gas.

Extra saliva in my mouth...feel like barfing. I am almost two years out...and I know when to stop now. You really learn your lesson after the first few times. :)

Pressure in the chest. I have not felt like I am going to throw up, nor have I had the "slimies" (foaming or saliva).

It is so easy to eat too fast. I usually get the feeling that something is stuck half way down. If I walk around it will usually give. It´s a process to learn the signs of how and when to eat.

If I eat too fast I will over eat by not feeling my full alarm. My stomache hurts!! Aches and somtimes upchuck.. It is getting much better though. I am learning it is worth eating slowly and paying attention to your signal from your sleeve. I stop immediately when I feel the least bit full. No Regrets at all!! My sleeve was April 10,2013,down 42lbs.

I have never experienced "sliming" or the feeling of food feeling stuck. I have eaten too fast twice and felt like I was ready to vomit, but never did. I just sat down and it passed in 15-20 minutes.

Pre-op, I was a weird case in some ways because I, um, never felt full. Like I literally could devour a large pizza after dinner. I might get "greased out" or something, but not full.

So, the surgery has been a blessing in that I finally know what it's like to feel full. To me, I start to feel a tightness internally...and then if I take a few more bites, I feel like a "solid" feeling. I don't know how else to describe it. I've learned to stop or severely slow down once I get that tightness...arguably, I shouldn't even get to that, I suppose. But I've definitely not taken another bite when I get that solid feeling. I think I probably would throw up.

So weird, and so great, to finally feel full.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
