When does fullness in chest feeling stop



Recommended Posts

I've been on purée foods for couple weeks. Every time I eat I get this full feeling in my chest like the food is stuck. I can't take any pressure on my stomach either. I feel uncomfortable.

No I haven't eaten too much. 1/3rd cup to 1/2 cup. And the feeling starts a few bites in.

The book says this full feeling in chest is normal. My concern is that I hate eating because of the feeling. I'd like to think a year from now eating won't feel this way. Does anyone know when this feeling will gradually end. I'm 4 weeks out.

Trust me...the feeling will end and then the real work will begin.....Take note of how you are feeling and how much you can put in your stomach when this happens. If you feel uncomfortable eat smaller meals 6 times a day until you fully heal...

Right now is the honeymoon period. Everything is geared to lose. You are swollen and tight. It will reverse in the sense that you will easily be able to fill yourself with up to a cup or more and then it will be very important what you eat.

Some people sneeze or hick-cup or their nose runs....Now for me I get no signs that I am getting full. Just have to learn to listen carefully to my stomach.....

This is only temporary and the feelings in there will change. Just keep doing what your doing and don't stop eating or drinking your Water because if you do there is going to be a lot of other not so nice things happening to you....

Make sure too that you are drinking coconut Water and or G2 Gatorade to help with electrolytes....:)

I'm almost 2 years out and while I don't get that feeling often any longer, I do get it when ice eaten too fast or when I've eaten too much

Fourteen months out and I still get that feeling. I'm used to it and I appreciate it. Keeps me honest. I avoid it because it means I've eaten a few bites too many and it's uncomfortable.

1/3 - 1/2 cup at your stage is quite a bit. I could only eat a few tablespoons max at your stage. Try 1/4 cup,

It is quite the rig-ga-ma-roll isn't it. Trying to figure out everything that is happening to your body and the sins and signals it gives you to either eat more or eat less. Or that you have eaten enough...It is kinda humorous. I remember taking a couple bites and complaining on here that my signals weren't working right....

All water under the bridge now...Now I work to maintain and not lose or gain...I kinda think back and miss those days where it was simpler....funny right!..LOL

      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.

      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! 😞
