Full later?

[marykb 0]

Today I had my normal Breakfast, a high Fiber low calorie English Muffin and 1 oz of cheese. It took me about the same time to eat it as it always does. About 45 minutes later I felt so full I was nauseous. I had my lunch later than normal because I was so full. By the time I ate lunch I was hungry again and feeling fine. I had another English Muffin and 1 Tbs of creamy Peanut Butter (usually I'll have 1/4 C of egg salad, but I ran out of eggs). Again, I felt fine until about 45 minutes later and then was super full.

Now it has been 7 hours since I ate lunch and I still feel over full. I'm having trouble even drinking Water because I feel so full.

What did I do wrong? Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi Marykb, it's a real bad idea to drink liquids on top of solids...adds pressure and may cause you pain.

Have you had a fill in the last 2 weeks? How much restriction have you got? are you hungry when you have your brekky or would the empty feeling subside with a drink of tea or another hot drink?

Sounds like it might be time for you to move away from bread based foods that tend to turn to dough in your mouth.

You need to change your eating pattern and see if it makes a difference.

I hope you work it out soon.

I had my first fill two days ago and I just moved back to reg food. I ate about 2/3's of a scrambled egg. I felt fine until about 30 min after, then I started feeling very full. It's been a little over two hours and I still feel miserable. I did take my time to eat.

I really don't know what went wrong.

I had the same problem again today, but not as bad. I even had a hard boiled egg for dinner almost 3 hours ago and didn't feel this full until about an hour after dinner.< /p>

Jalomum, I had one fill about 6 weeks ago, of 2 cc's in my 10 cc band. That is the only fill I've had. I haven't had a problem with any food getting stuck or anything, so I hadn't thought it would come up now. Thanks for your advice. It was nice to eat some carbs, but it looks like I'll have to go back to a more Protein focused diet.

see how you go :-) I'm a bit of a carb addict...I eat crucny ryvita with whole grains in them, just a 1/6th at a time...low GI too. Cruncy goes down better that chewy whicch tends to stay in a bit of a lump.

Every day is a learning curve.
