Too Full Feeling

Hi, I know I don't write on here too much unless I'm really worried about something and all of you have been wonderful answering my questions!! I am in the process of separating from my husband and I haven't had the time to devote to this site like I usually do, so please forgive me and help a poor soul anyway!!!!!! (smile). I feel too full. I am 2 months out 45 lbs down and I ate a boiled egg yesterda for lunch and all afternoon and last night I felt really bloated and full. It was hard to make myself drink all of my water because of it. It finally passed later on during the night, but today its the same. I haven't eaten since yesterday, I'm not hungry, but feel so full! What do you think causes this? Have I done something wrong? Tums don't help. Please help me. Thank you in advance, Crystal

Hi Crystal. I don't know about the too full feeling but I know that there are lots of people on here who can give you advice. I wanted you to know that I too am in the process of separating from my husband and have had a hard time keeping up with the site too. Great weight loss of 2 months out! Susann

Crystal...maybe it's gas...before wls boiled eggs made me gassy...I would burp and the other like no tomorrow...so maybe boiled eggs just don't agree with you right now...pass on the eggs for a while, then try them again later and see how you do. Hugs, Tonya

Hi Crystal.. I know last week I was eating within limits all I could with no problem and hungry all the time..then my monthly came along and I'm feeling Like if I take a bite of anything, I'll puke. I have forced myself to eat some cottage cheese this morning for breakfast, took my vitamins and thought I would try to eat something for lunch and picked over a piece of tuna steak..looked like a mouse was nawing on it when I was done with it. but at least it was something... Water has sat like a rock on my tummy the past few days as well..but I really push the stuff. Have to! Well, it's time to eat again now, and all I think I can do is a piece of roast chicken lunchen meat..dont' want it, but we need that protein!!! Try to eat and drink your water, Crystal, so you don't get sick or dehydrated..I don't do the protein shakes, but if that's all you can do, do it. take your vitamins...some days, I guess are like this.. some day's I know it feels like we could eat a cow and some days everything is yukky and feel like we can't eat anyting. You and I are moving along nicely together with our weight..I'm 44lbs down now..maybe more..it's been a few days since I've weighed. Crystal, if ever you eat and it wont stay down, consistantly..go to the doctor asap. Feeling full is what our little pouches are supposed to do..they are what I think, tempermental.LOL Are you doing ok beside feeling full? how long has this been going on?.. I've missed you!

Crystal, I really haven't any thoughts other than possibly gas and/or the egg just didn't settle with you well...unless it is happenning other occassions with other foods. I hope it passes...and the feelings goes away so you can get some nutritional food intake. Best of Sucess to you ( CONTINUED...I MEAN.. you are doing nicely on your WL)

Thank you for replying! It passed after that day. I ate a whole lot of tums/calcium and just didn't eat, but I did manage to get down my fluids. The next day I was fine, so I guess maybe it was gas or something. It just felt odd, you know? Thanks for your support!

WELL MS CRYSTAL, WE'RE REALLY SORRY TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE HAVING TO GO THROUGH MARRIAGE PROBLEMS ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE YOU HAVE ON YOUR SHOULDERS RIGHT NOW. BUT, AS WIERD AS THIS MAY SOUND ... LOOK AT THIS AS THE "BEST" THING TO HAPPEN & GO ON WITH YOUR LIFE TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY ... BOTH NICK & I WENT THROUGH 30 YEAR MARRIAGES THAT WERE NOT HAPPY ONES, SO EVEN AS HARD AS SEPARATING & DIVORCING WAS ... FINDING EACH OTHER & OUR NEW LIFE WAS SO WORTH ALL THE PAIN. MS POOR SOUL ... EGGS, ESPECIALLY HARD BOILED, ARE HARD ON A LOT OF NEWBIES. TRY WAITING A MONTH & TRY THEM AGAIN. BUT, YOU CAN GET THAT AWFUL STUFFED FEELING FROM NOT ONLY EATING FOODS YOUR POUCH DOESN'T LIKE, BUT BY EATING TOO MUCH, EATING TOO FAST (MY SHORT FALL) & NOT CHEWING WELL ENOUGH SO THE TEXTURE IS TOO HARSH FOR YOUR POUCH. TRY PUTTING YOUR FORK DOWN IN BETWEEN EACH BITE & FOLD YOUR HANDS IN YOUR LAP TO SLOW DOWN YOUR EATING. ALSO, EVERY TIME I SAY I WANT ONE MORE BITE, I'M SORRY I DID BECAUSE THE SIGNALS OF BEING FULL HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO GO FROM MY POUCH TO MY BRAIN TO TELL ME I'M ACTUALLY FULL BEFORE I REALIZE IT. SO NOW, WHEN I FIND MYSELF WANTING ONE MORE BITE, I DON'T ... MS BRITTY GAVE ME THAT PIECE OF INFORMATION & SHE WAS RIGHT. WHEN I FEEL LIKE I COULD EAT ONE MORE BITE, I ACTUALLY CAN'T BECAUSE I'M ALREADY FULL & JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET. GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK
