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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
