When does fullness in chest feeling stop



Recommended Posts

I've been on purée foods for couple weeks. Every time I eat I get this full feeling in my chest like the food is stuck. I can't take any pressure on my stomach either. I feel uncomfortable.

No I haven't eaten too much. 1/3rd cup to 1/2 cup. And the feeling starts a few bites in.

The book says this full feeling in chest is normal. My concern is that I hate eating because of the feeling. I'd like to think a year from now eating won't feel this way. Does anyone know when this feeling will gradually end. I'm 4 weeks out.

Trust me...the feeling will end and then the real work will begin.....Take note of how you are feeling and how much you can put in your stomach when this happens. If you feel uncomfortable eat smaller meals 6 times a day until you fully heal...

Right now is the honeymoon period. Everything is geared to lose. You are swollen and tight. It will reverse in the sense that you will easily be able to fill yourself with up to a cup or more and then it will be very important what you eat.

Some people sneeze or hick-cup or their nose runs....Now for me I get no signs that I am getting full. Just have to learn to listen carefully to my stomach.....

This is only temporary and the feelings in there will change. Just keep doing what your doing and don't stop eating or drinking your Water because if you do there is going to be a lot of other not so nice things happening to you....

Make sure too that you are drinking coconut Water and or G2 Gatorade to help with electrolytes....:)

I'm almost 2 years out and while I don't get that feeling often any longer, I do get it when ice eaten too fast or when I've eaten too much

Fourteen months out and I still get that feeling. I'm used to it and I appreciate it. Keeps me honest. I avoid it because it means I've eaten a few bites too many and it's uncomfortable.

1/3 - 1/2 cup at your stage is quite a bit. I could only eat a few tablespoons max at your stage. Try 1/4 cup,

It is quite the rig-ga-ma-roll isn't it. Trying to figure out everything that is happening to your body and the sins and signals it gives you to either eat more or eat less. Or that you have eaten enough...It is kinda humorous. I remember taking a couple bites and complaining on here that my signals weren't working right....

All water under the bridge now...Now I work to maintain and not lose or gain...I kinda think back and miss those days where it was simpler....funny right!..LOL

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
