Hi guys so lately something kind of strange has been happening. I’ve been trying to lose weight for a while now and ever since I moved house last week I’ve been taking things more seriously and eating healthier as well as keeping track of my calories every day. Well now that I’ve been doing that and eating significantly less than before whenever I eat more than a certain amount of calories at once I feel extremely sick. It happened yesterday but I didn’t think much of it as I had a large dinner which accounted for most of my calories for the day and I just assumed since that isn’t exactly normal and I had only eaten breakfast which was about 40 calories before that it was just because of that. But today it happened again when I had a 400 calorie meal. Since I usually only eat a small amount at once (about 100 to 300ish calories) I think it might be because I’m having more. (It has also happened other times but I just thought it was because the food wasn’t healthy) Does anyone know why this is happening or if this is possible? Could it be some other reason that I didn’t realize? Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks for taking the time to read this I really appreciate it.
Also as I am writing this I realized that every time this has happened I either had soda or black coffee so it could be caffeine but I doubt it considering I had it other times with no similar side effects.

    How many calories are you eating per day?

    Well, I'm guessing that's not enough. Why so low?

    Have you ruled out medical issues? Maybe there's a stomach bug going around. Maybe the moving stress resulted in a stomach infection or an ulcer to flare up. Could be anything really.

    Well, I have a compromised stomach that is smaller than normal. I can feel sick if I eat too much at once. Try skipping all beverages with your big meal and see if it makes a difference. It might just be an issue of capacity.

    I have a friend who had gastric sleeve surgery and she has described that feeling to me before. She doesn't have to eat much in order for it to happen. In her case, she just has a much smaller stomach and it is extremely easy to overeat. It might just be too much food for you at once or maybe food that is richer than what you are used to?
