I overate tonight and can feel it!

[LSF 264]

I'm only 2 weeks post-op and still on mushies. I start soft food in 2 days. I have been SO hungry lately that I found myself eating non-stop between 5pm - 6pm. I had a 3oz SF pudding, SF Fudgesicle, 1/4 c - cream of chix Soup and a 1/4 c of mashed potatoes. Then, I had a tsp of Peanut Butter and a bite of cheese! I stopped because I felt it kind of stuck in the piping going down. That was 2 1/2 hours ago. I'm not nauseaus, I can drink Water, I'm not sliming - but I still feel it. I keep burping small burps. Will it go away on it's own? I know I should have never let myself get carried away!

Any advice would be appreciated.

It will go away. I had this happen too, mainly from eating too fast due to extreme hunger. You will find it gradually lessen, but you won't forget it. I am more careful since getting a little bit over full one time late last week. It does amuse me how little food it takes to get me full now.

Yes - I slept through the night - nothing ever came up but it still feels like something is there. I work at a hotel so when I go in this morning, I'm gonna go to the restaurant and take a couple of sips of pineapple juice. I dind't think I would be as restricted as I am. I guess that's a good thing compared to some of the other people who have no restriction.

Definitely is, but yeah, its uncomfortable when it happens. I have noticed that letting myself get absolutely starved is not good for me. It makes the whole eat slowly, chew extremely well thing difficult to remember when I am ravenous.

I hope the tightness goes away. You may just be a little swollen from having eaten too much and might consider going back to full liquids for a day to give your belly a rest.

Actually, I ended up being fine today. I think you were right - it was just too fast because nothing ever came up.

I am glad you feel better!
