Feeling so full after eating.

brydeebs · July 2015

So I am 21 weeks 3 days and I have gone through the gassy bloated feeling after eating and that kinda went away since the second trimester..
But now its like I eat a small sandwich and I feel like I ate a whole thanksgiving dinner! I get so full over such a small amount of food! Of course I'm hungry a couple hours later but its the strangest feeling. I've just been eating tiny little frequent meals and snacks.
Anyone else feeling this way?!

Yes!!! I eat small portions every two hours because it works best for me. I absolutely hate going out to eat these days. The portions are always way too big for me!

Yep. When I eat I feel like it just sits in the same spot forever and I get full really quick.

I believe this is because as the uterus grows, it displaces the stomach. The stomach simply can't hold as much food volume-wise as your pregnancy progresses.

I am full so quickly

I'm glad I'm not alone. I feel like everyone always talks about eating so much

I'm getting really good at figuring out what foods reheat well and asking for a to-go box upfront when food arrives. Of course then I usually get home and eat the left overs.

Yep, I think that's normal. I eat like 5 small meals a day. I'm used to doing that anyway with the way I train and workout. Especially at a restaurant, I'm full after an app or a salad and have to take my meal home

Omg, my life every single night. I was just saying last night how it felt like I ate thanksgiving dinner! I'm usually ok until dinner and then I'm in pain for hours, no matter how small the portions are. Walking after eating helps, but it's so hot out now I can't even handle that.

Yay! We are all normal! I have a friend that keeps telling me "You're doing this whole pregnancy thing wrong.... Not eating a lot and losing weight... Aren't pregnant women supposed to eat a lot and gain a bunch of weight?" Bless his heart. Haha!

I must be weird. I eat breakfast lunch and dinner normal sized portions and don't want any snacks in between. But then again, this my 5th pregnancy and had to completely revamp the amount of protein/veg I a consuming. I miss taters so much

I haven't lost or gained any weight since my 12 week appt. I'm 17 weeks now. I have to go see a dietitian soon for the GD and will probably be adjusted again to eat the 6 tiny meals with even less carbs than I am allowing myself now... It just seems so weird to me. As for restaurant portions, I never could eat a whole dish unless it's the lunch sized fajitas without the tortillas. Great, now I want On The Border, lol

Yes this happens to me randomly! Some days I'll just have a few bites of something and I'm suddenly so full I feel like I could burst. Sometimes it gets so bad it actually makes me feel a little nauceous. It would just randomly happen every few days or so, couldn't track it to any specific foods or anything like that.

Yup this happens to me but then I'm hungry again shortly afterwards. There have been several times when I didn't slow down while eating and it all come
Up during the meal YUCK

It happens every day. Usually I have a great appetite and can eat big portions (I am tall and about 12 and a half stone). Nowadays eating even half what I used to makes me have a LOT of pain, heart burn and indigestion. We went out a couple of nights ago and on the way back I could not even walk from the pain. I hope it gets better cause I am still hungry.. :-(
