Long termers-and restriction on foods

[emma-louise]

I feel a bit embarrassed to write this but I hate the feeling of food now....
This morning I've eaten a few teaspoons of a "superfood" bean salad.
It was lovely but after it I feel bloated and sluggish this happens whenever I eat now.
It's honestly making me hate food,I eat now to survive not for comfort.
I should be glad my restriction is still good after 2 1/2 years,I just hate this feeling of fullness.
Does anyone else feel like this?sometimes I'd rather not eat,but I know I have to so do it.

Looks like its just me that dislikes the feeling of food then.....lol

I am only 6 months post op but I know what you mean most things make me feel a bit queasy and sort of tired afterwards!

 

[emma-louise]

It's not a nice feeling now eating at all to me!
It does get me a little down at times,especially when I'm out of the house as I don't like to have that "uncomfy" feeling whilst out.
So I tend to stick with coffees when out!

To be honest Emma, I can kind of understand your frustration. My restriction is strict, but it is at a point where i can tolerate it - ie I feel like I eat enough but not too much. And that works for me because I don't feel hard done by. But I can imagine if you're still eating teeny portions you must feel very hard done by.

You see my portions are just pathetic!..lol
Less than my 5 year olds...
I can be eating and get that uncomfy feeling,but my head still wants more.
Glad someone can understand where I'm coming from.

I suspect its because you struggle with foods - I can find chicken makes me feel a little like that sometimes.

I do eat almost everything now however I do have good restriction also, the hardest is watching them all eat if I have nothing I would rather eta a little n bring the rest home with me, cant eat and drink though, our leaving do is Thursday and we are having a meal and drinks so could be a problem for me but am more worried bout catching sickness n diahorrea which my daughter and hubby have just both had, worried sick have to miss it would be just my luck, cos I got a speech planned. Ha x Need to get few things off my chest xx

 

[emma-louise]

Hope speech goes to plan chrisa x...lol

I feel just the same and am getting very frustrated. I eat less than my six year old niece on my plate and get full up really, really quickly. I can be quite hungry and really fancy a particular food, go and make it and then only eat half a teaplate full! It does get exasperating and if I was not able to fill out calories with higher value foods now and again I would still be losing weight (which I don't really want to)

Jane,
I eat tiny portions but still got 2 stones to lose,
I haven't lost for about 15 months now.

This is a very useful thread ! Thanks for starting it emma.
I get full up immediatley, like after a spoonful, if we are out and I'm paying for food.
I get full up really quickly if I eat a dinner.
I can eat rubbish easily. I think I have a seperate stomach for cake, biscuits and chocolate.
I realise that I am getting at least half my calories from such rubbish, and it is this is how I am maintaining. It's not good !
I also think about food all the time at the moment, and have done for about a month ! I think I am trying to get satisfaction, which is so very different from being full.
I'm very depressed and stressed at the moment as I'm about to lose my job. I'm actually heartbroken. I don't know how to cope as I have no tool any more.
and the most irritating thing is that ALL food seems to make me feel dreadful, either straight away, or within an hour and a half. I feel uncomfortable and agitated, I go hot , cold, hot, cold, and feel tired. This happens everytine I eat.
As I'm eating rubbish I am also terrified of regaining. I am sue calories from bad foods stick more than calories from good food.
And yes, I hate the over full feeling

It's horrid isn't it!
I really hate the feeling of food now,it just isn't nice.
Have you gained any weight at all by eating rubbish?

 

[Miss Tickle]

Weighed myself today and seem to have put two pounds on BUT- my clothes are looser than ever and my boobs even smaller.
I think the feeling I'm getting is some sort of dumping. But it's with everything- no worse with chocolate than it is with vegatables?
How about you?
