Am I not normal?
No matter when I eat, and even though I eat very small portions...my
stomach is always bloated for 3 or 4 hours afterwards. Is this normal? I drink very little liqud with meals, only a few sips to aid in swallwing. I have wanted to ask some of ya'll about this, but maybe this is normal, then I'll feel udderly dumb or stupid (which is what JC says about all my posts anyway). I just sat down in recliner to log on, I can feel and hear the substance in my belly "sloshing" and it is very uncomfortable. If I rock or move around, or God Forbid, try to bend over....it feels as if I shall throw up and can actually feel the food coming up into my esophagus. The same thing if I attempt to drink any significant amount of water or any other liquid more than 2 or3 oz at a time. How long should it take normally for the stomach contents to pass into the intestines. I ate exactly 10 pork skins w/2Tbs sour cream and drank small glass Atkins Peach Tea (ice cubes). I assume my stomach was relatively empty, had eaten breakfast at 11:30 AM (6 hrs ago) which was 2 slcs. bacon and 1 scrambled egg. I have small cup that holds 6 oz coffee which is what I drink and sometimes pour half of it out. I also have a problem eating eggs, sometimes I cook it and just can't handle it. I feed it to the cat. LOL I never ate breakfast before I started LC two months ago and I am trying to make myself. When I have dinner I will eat it in small portions...a few bites of everything (4-5 oz meat and cup string beans, desert of SF Jell w/whip cream). I leave it and go back and eat more a while later, then again. Before bed I eat a snack and small glass of Soy Silk or Carb Countdown. My stomach is always quesey at night, but can tolerate it better when lying down and on my way to meet the sandman. Having to eat this way, so my stomach won't feel sick all day, means I actually eat 5 or 6 times daily. Do you suppose that is OK? Before I stopped working I would go all day without eating, could not work with tummy bloated for 4 hours. Must be something wrong somewhere, 'cause still haven't lost any more since the first month (6 lbs). I am still under 20 Carbs daily, Fat 60-90 gms, Cal 900-1200. According to info in Atkins and Southbeach, that should cause weight loss even in sedentary LCers. My physical activity is very limited because of Pulmonary Disability, 30 min Treadmill on good days. I have been doing extensive research on the medications I am RXed. Thinking back I distinctly remember starting to gain weight when I was DXed with GERD and recurring stomach ulcers. That was 18 yrs ago, have been taking Prevacid/Prilosec or some type of H2 blocker ever since. I stopped taking it in Jan, had trouble getting Ins to pay for it. I ended up in hospital with a tummy full of ulcers and had to take Prevacid two times a day till it healed. I already asked the group about their experiences with GERD. Most said they were able to completely stop taking med for it. I just wish I had better results, I found out last week that my Cholesterol and Triglycerides have gone back up to 297 and 210. Doc insists that I go back on 40mg Lipitor and Zetia. I just can't go that route again, it makes me feel so bad, my legs and arms ache and can barely get out of bed. Somebody in the group asked me before if I was calculating my Carbs, etc correctly. I use the Atkin's Carb Counter Book. If I can't figure out what I'm doing or not doing correctly, I shall be happy to post my daily menus for a few days and maybe you guys can show me what to "cut". This post is already too long. Thanks for your suggestions and advice, You too JC....and how about change it this time, I want a new one, not your same old worn out, "Eat less, and exercise more." faye |

It doesn't have to be that hard.
In the morning, make yourself eat. Just a couple of eggs, maybe a slice of cheese on it. Later, try a salad. Drench it with dressing. Much later, don't go hog-wild. Have a steak, some cooked veggies should be in there, but just do it. Lamenting about how things won't change does no good if you don't change anything. |

Now see what you did, JC? You got the others telling me to "eat less
exercise more." So I reckon I gotta do what I gotta do, and it's all your fault, JC. Whew, I feel a little better when I can blame my "fatdom" on something else other than the fact that "every time my elbow bends, my mouth opens." faye |
