symptoms if you eat too much?



Recommended Posts

I'm just wondering what the symptoms are if you eat too much? I'm still figuring out how much food is enough or too much for me. I ate half a sandwich then later drank, I think too much fat free milk. My port area started hurting. I didn't eat anything else the rest of the day. I just sipped Water. I'm. Thinking one symptom of getting too full for me is that area will hurt. Does anyone else have this? I am going to wait longer before drinking after I eat because I don't think I waited the full 30 mins. I'm still learning. Banded Feb. 7th.

How can your port area hurt if you eat too much when its not near the stomach. Your port can hurt up to 6 months after surgery. Really and honestly if you are newly banded try not to eat bread. I never really have a full feeling its more satisfied and no longer hungry. You may never have a full feeling but eating the right amount of calories a day is the key. 12 to 1400 calories. Any less you are putting your body in starvation mode and you will not lose weight. If your port is hurting after you eat it is just coincidental.

I am restricted to 600 calories per day and do fine with that. I'm not allowed to have any bread either. That probably made you feel bad.

With the band, you really have to listen to your body and learn the new signals it will send you. When I am full, I feel satisfied not bloated and miserable like I did before the band. If I try to eat more than I should, my back will start hurting. Also, I will burp. If the burp is solid and feels as if food is going to come up with it, then I know I have overeaten.

You DO NOT want to get stuck. I am 3 months postop and had my first experience with this last week. It was the most miserable feeling ever. Learn to stop when you are satisfied!

When I start pushing the limit I burp or hiccup or if I don't chew well enough or eat too fast or too much get chest pain until it moves through.

I always get the hiccups from hell when I eat too fast or I am getting to the stop eating point. After I eat I get left shoulder pain for some reason. It last a while.

Your not in starvation mode yet because your band is too new. You will get there if you only eat 7 to 900 calories a day.

Ooops. Im not in starvation mode by any means.

I think that everyone is different, I was told only to eat 900 calories by my metobolic specialist. I had the band 2 years. I still have trouble with breads, it depends on my band that day. Today, I tried a bite of a bagel, which I have been wanting for months, and I regret it, I have been in the bathroom all morning. It got stuck, I learned my lesson big time...

If I eat too much I get a stuck feeling, I start to salivate, I get hiccups, and a general chest pain.

I've learned to stop eating before I'm full. Getting stuck is a horrendous feeling.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
