Fullness all day after eating one meal, small or no appetite

For the past two weeks I've been having a problem with my digestive system. I had taco bell two weeks ago, which included a taco and burrito. Shortly after eating the burrito, I became uninterested in food and couldn't eat another bite. That same day my stomach felt full and bloated, and I felt stomach cramps at first. I had laid down to rest but after I woke up, I felt nauseous and sick.

The next day I didn't eat a thing. The smell of food made me sick to my stomach, and I came close to vomiting but never happened. All I had was 7up which made me feel much better. I made some soup which was good. The next day I was feeling better but still no appetite. Even with no appetite I did some light eating and I felt fine.

Now, it's been two weeks since this incident and I still have the same problem. The problem for me is, anything I eat I become full and bloated, and my appetite will be gone the rest of the day. I know my appetite is there, there's just something that's blocking it because I can feel it trying to push through. I have no stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, nauseous feeling or anything similar. The only time I have bowel movements is when I eat, other than that I don't really have them, which I guess would seem normal if I'm not eating. I believe there's something wrong inside my stomach, and gastroparesis seems to fit what I have without the feeling sick part. I really hope thats not it.

I went to the doctor yesterday to see what was wrong, but all they did was give me a prescription for Prilosec which I don't believe will help. I had some blood work done so I'm waiting on the results. Anyone have any idea what this could be? I've been worried about this and it has me concerned.

hi there, i can't give you an answer but i have been suffering in a similar way. its been like this for months now, i get very fatigued during the day and get dizziness while i eat. and yes, i get full unusually quickly. my appetite is there in the stomach, but not in the mouth if you know what i mean. and no diarhea. i also dont get full nights of sleep, which in turn affects me at work - no energy. i also get bloated often as well. depression also kicks in as i have lost weight, and i am already skinny as it is. some people say its mild IBS but no certain food triggers it. its worrying me as well because i cant really live with it anymore. im off to the doctor next week and will let you know if he says anything, which may be of help to you.

just last saturday i ate taco bell, quesadilla and taco. and i ate all of the quesadilla and one bite of the taco and couldn't eat anymore. when usually i can eat all that and more. i couldn't eat the rest of the night. then the next day i didn't eat anything. i wasn't interested in food at all. i lost my apetite and lost 5 pounds just that day. its now been three days later. and i still can't eat well. even a light meal fills me up and makes me feel nauseaus.
