Discomfort

Is chest discomfort a sign of fullness? I always stop eating when that feeling starts up or when I'm just satisfied because I'm not sure if that's what it is. [emoji848]

    Probably. The fullness feeling happens much higher up post-op than pre-op. Normally I feel it right between my breasts. It gets worse if you eat that 1 or 2 more bites than you should. That happen

    I had this problem so I ate topless. My family thought I was crazy but it made me feel good. [emoji23]

    It probably is, but you may be just pushing it one step too far. Try stopping before you get that discomfort in your chest. Where you've eaten a bite and you just say, ok, the tightness isn't there ye

Yes, if you start to feel pressure in your chest, stop eating!

It probably is, but you may be just pushing it one step too far. Try stopping before you get that discomfort in your chest. Where you've eaten a bite and you just say, ok, the tightness isn't there yet, but I don't feel the same as I did when I started eating, so I stop. By the time you get that pain, you are overfilled and that's why it's uncomfortable. Also, if you do have that feeling, put your hands over your head and walk around, it helps it go away faster!
