Eating To Much

So I needed to do a little emotional eating tonight and decided a half cup of wholegrain/flaxseed spaggetti with green pesto and a little feta cheese whould be it and boy am I paying for it.I have pain in the lower left side of my stomach and I am foaming big time.

 

I just dont have a cue (hickup or sneeze) when I am full like some people do.I did hickup when it was o late though...lol

 

This is not nice.I should know better.I try to never eat to much and have never felt like this since surgery.

 

Now I am paranoid about stretching my stomach,stupid I know.Next time I will stick to my protein and veggies and have a sf ice lolly to self sooth when needed.

 

Life's become so complicated since I had this surgery...so many changes like moving to either the US or UK in 2 months (not knowing drives me nuts) and then my sweet old aunty died today and now I will have to decide if I am going back to South Africa for the funeral and abandon my 11 year old while she had to compete in 2 international gymnastics competitions with an injury.

 

The thing is I think wasnt neccessarily easier before...I just ate my way through all the problems and it did give me great comfort....now,nothing!

 

Anyhow,at some point I will have to find not addictive coping mechanisms.And I know I will.

 

This sleeve is so far the best thing thats happened to me...I would have gained another 30 pounds in the last 2,5 months if I didnt have it.

When you eat, do you get pressure behind your eyes, or a slight headache? That's how I started to know when I'm full. I've had trouble determining that too.

I start getting a sort of tight feeling in my chest...and the thought is, "am I getting full?" so when I am having that feeling, it is probably time to stop....I often get the hiccups at fullness too, but I have at times taken one bite too many and had to walk it off.

I tried my first scramble egg today and it did me in. I had to lie down for two hours after a 1/2 hour of nausea. So, my question is...how long does it take "solid" food to move thru the stomach on average. Anyone know?

idk, im still adjusting to the new eating, i get frustrated everyone eats good around me and i think i can handle it, im learning thru trial and error...i know when i mess up because i sure feel it moving thru- and i literally have to walk it off to help food move down my stomach...im 11 days after surgery i lost 19 lbs but already at a platue...i have been floating between 192-193 last 7 days or so....grrrr! today i also started phase 2, soft perade food, so i had my first scrambled egg...earlier i had no problem taking the egg down.
