How long does it take to go back down after it distends at 1PM? If you don't eat, does this still happen at 1PM every day? How long has this been happening and when did it start? You said>>>My name is Cindy & I have been eating/living a whole foods/starch, low-fat, sugar/flour/oil/salt/alcohol free lifestyle for 9 years.
When you began this WOE 9 years ago and lost the weight, were things ok then?
The picture at the beach is what my abdomen normally looked like throughout the day for years eating whole starches, fruits & vegetables that are low-fat without oil and no added salt or sugar (except in condiments). The other flat/normal picture is right after I wake upon the morning
Late morning I start to get hungry so around noon I have a meal. Then, the distention starts. It's not painful, just makes it difficult to waddle around & my clothes are uncomfortable. This never happens until I start eating food. It gets worse the more I eat so by bedtime it's at it's peak. By morning it's back to normal & the cycle starts all over again. This only started happening in the last year & it's frustrating. I'm convinced that eating animals & their secretions is unhealthy for humans but it sure is hard to keep believing & staying true to this lifestyle when my meat eating friends & family are lanky as ever.
