Does Anyone's Uterus Feel Like It's Pushing Against Your Stomach?

I know most of us have that "pg" feeling, but I was wondering if anyone has noticed that "full" feeling pushing against their stomach? My uterus is tilted "way back" (according to my dr.) and maybe that's why I don't appear as big as my nearly 12 week sized uterus really is. But for the past month, whenever I eat something, my stomach will still feel "full", even after several hours. My eating habits haven't changed, but I'm wondering what's going on down there. Its almost like when I really was "pg" and everything was pushing up towards my ribs. I find myself not able to eat as much--not enough to lose a few pounds, mind you! But I'm hoping this "congestion" will go away after my surgery.

Inquiring minds want to know...

You just explained the way my stomach feels. I thought it was just gas but I get so much pressure all the way up to my ribs, feels like if someone stuck a pin in me I would POP!!!! I get an incredible full feeling. I have lost 4lbs in the past 2 weeks!!! The feeling in my belly does feel like pregnancy. Hang in there. Not much longer to go!!!!

Mine felt that way. You could feel it up passed my belly button.
I was full fast only because of that uncomfortable pressure and pain.
You are almost there! yeah!
I am feeling WONDERFUL now!! Best thing I did!

Yup, I felt the same way. My uterus was always tipped way back. I have felt, for quite a while, that I had a fullness feeling in my belly & pelvic area that just would not go away. No matter HOW little or how much better I would eat, I could NOT drop a pound. After my hyst., I have lost 7 lbs and I am not even 2 weeks post op. I have a different feeling now, but that is because of the surgery...I tried to sleep on my tummy last night, but it is just still too big. I am SO anxious to know what it will all feel like after this swelly belly goes away.

I am soooo hoping that a lot of my GERD and gastrointestinal stuff will go away with surgery. I've been eating better so have a better handle on it, but the fullness after eating, and bladder fullness too is so annoying. I have no interest in eating out or even eating at someone elses house because the nausea that hits as soon as the food is swallowed. (no matter if I only eat a little) I certainly could benefit from not eating, but I don't need to wear down my immune system at this point either. The constant fullness and bloating will not be missed!!!
I was just reminded by the surgeon of my tipped uterus! It caused me great difficulty during the birth of my 10lb. DD., and pain while carrying my 10 lb DS. I looked up some info on it, and was amazed to see that it could be the cause of my back symptoms, the doc agreed.

I think it would be fine to feel "optimistic" about surgery helping these other problems after reading numerous post op threads, and also some discussions on a womens hysterectomy/gastrointestinal site I check into once in awhile.
I will be anxious to read your post-ops before my surgery to see how it goes.
Best wishes, and god bless!

Hi (((sisters)))) I had the exact same problem before my LSH and I`m happy to report almost 4 weeks post-op it`s GONE!!!!! YIPEE it was a HORRIBLE feeling I can`t tell u how much better I feel after having this done......like a new ME !!!!!! I hope and pray it the same hold true for all u ladies -in-waiting!!!! ((((HUGS)))) to u all

Thank you so much, ms.kitty for your words of encouragement! I am SO hopeful that all my problems will be resolved after this surgery.

But this bloatedness is really bugging me along with the nausea that seems to come and go a lot. I checked my weight and it doesn't appear that I've gained anything, but my jeans are so tight across my waist and today in the shower I noticed my belly even looks larger (than usual). Only 9 days left and I'll be able to get this finally resolved!
