Im a "grazer" anyway...rarely eating full meals according to other people. However, I can see a small amount and feel like I have eaten a 6 course heavy meal and not really recover from it till the next day. This is pretty much every day.
Do others with fibroids have this experience?
My TAH is scheduled for July 16th.

I had a huge fibroid (grapefruit sized) and don't remember having that symptom - I just had to pee all the time.
After surgery is now when I feel I have had lap-band surgery and I eat a little and am full. I have lost 10 pounds since surgery in 3 weeks. Good luck ladies!

Yes!! Ive been telling my husband that for over a year before finding out i have 2 large and several small fibroids. If i eat or drink very little it feels as if i just ate Thanksgiving dinner. I have to lay down and recover and Ive abused antacids thinking i just had stomach issues. Also have to pee at least every hr. Gained 20 pounds in the last 2-3 months and am just miserable. Cant wait till the 27th to get to the other side.

I too feel full halfway through eating a meal. I still eat loads though and visit the toilet every hour or so.....I guess that will change when the whole lot is removed. I'm hoping to lose lots of weight as a result....

Re: To those w\fibroids..Does even the smallest of meals feel like a 12 course one?
Thanks! I Figured that there had to be other similar stories out there. While I haven't really gained weight, I never feel like I feel "normal" where eating is concerned. I either don't eat much at all so that I feel comfortable, or eat a normal meal and feel completely miserable the rest of the day.

I have had that problem for years. I've always assumed it was just my IBS or something else. Now I'm interested to see if my surgery on 07-16-13 will make a difference.

kimbella! My surgery is scheduled for the same day. I have only been like this with the eating\digestion issues for like a year now. I know for a fact all that time the fibroids have been growing. I will be interested to see if surgery makes a difference too. It just has to!
