Ever Feel Like your stomach was a big ball?



Recommended Posts

I think I had too much for supper last evening. I had 5 ounces of greek yogurt and about 1/2 hour later I had a Protein Shake. About 1/2 hour after that my stomach felt too full. It felt hard and distended. That happened to be once before about a week ago and it went away fairly quickly. However I woke up this morning still feeling like my stomach was too full (again hard and distended). I have a call into the doctor but haven't heard back yet. Has anyone ever felt this way?

are you constipated? Sometimes gas gets trapped if you're got a lot of "back up" in there. It can cause distension and pain.

I get that when I've overeaten now. Tummy just isn't used to the volume I used to put in it (I'm still pre-surgery), so it gets full faster and when I overeat I get what I call the "buddha belly", round and distended. Most uncomfortable. Sometimes it goes away fairly quickly (within a few hours as foods digest), and other times I need to take a TUMS or a Phenergan and wait for it to hit my lower intestines when everything "whooshes" out. Hope yours gets better soon!
