**Review for those who don't know......I had my colon removed Aug 2012 then some emergency surgeries and resection for an ischemic small intestine in July. I have two ostomies right now...a diverting loop and my original end that will live again once the loop gets put back in. Jpouch someday. I had also been throwing up for several weeks due to a latent infection in my surgery wound. I'm on antibiotics now and the throwing up has stopped.***End review

In the evenings though I feel like I am absolutely stuffed...like Thanksgiving Day stuffed. I can eat and drink only a tiny bit and still feel this. Anybody ever experience this before?

I'm not sure if this is a similar situation or not, but after each of my hospitalizations where I could not eat for days/weeks at a time I struggled with the "full" feeling once I was able to eat again. I hated eating during those times, but it went away with time. The stomach is a muscle, so it needs time to stretch out again.

Ooo, good call. I didn't eat for 30 some days when in the hospital this summer. I've only been eating for two months so that might have something to do with it.
