At 412, I'm well aware I need two airplane seats and a seatbelt extender. My bigger concern is getting around in large airports. Special assistance would be a must. When I last flew in 2022, I was only 305, and logistics were tough because I tired easily and don't have the ability to quickly move through security. Careful planning will be in order next time.

I see boobs and then the top of my belly. I can no longer see my belly button, and from my angle, I can't see my thighs or knees either when sitting. My gut has taken over!

I've used a metal frame since I broke a flimsy twin bed as a teenager while vacationing at a lake cabin. I chose the bed I have for other reasons too, including aesthetic ones, but it's also held up well as I've continued to gain. I have noticed though, I can't cut corners on cheap mattresses. They flatten and develop indents in no time.

This is my favorite kind of stuffing. Even as fat as I am, there have been times I've eaten until I can barely sink a finger into the top of my belly and the fat around my belly button stretches tight. Ahhh, I'm taking a bit of a gaining break at the moment, and I miss being that full!

Tingling can also be caused by unhealthy amounts of pressure on the spine or a nerve. Whatever the cause, it sounds like your body is sending warning signs that it needs a break.
BigBallBellyGirl:
I have just in the past week had a bit of a reality check with myself, because I do want to remain mobile. I'm 29 and a working professional, and my partner is moderately physically active. I've been putting on 7 to 10 pounds a week lately, and obviously, that can't go on indefinitely. While I'm 403 now and still hope to get to 450, I'm going to try slowing down to see if that helps with my belly pain, bizarre tingling, and sore belly button. My partner agrees that's probably best. Maybe 2 pounds a week is more sustainable!
Munchies:
It is, but you will probably need to have gaining breaks all together of you want to let your body recover.
I also caution against stopping cold turkey. I'm a feeder that enjoys super intense stuffings, and I've been around the block a bit. If you go cold turkey, you'll struggle a lot. I find transitioning into better eating habits to be more effective. It takes about a month to do, and you'll still gain weight during this time, but you won't have such a hard time dealing with cravings.
Week 1: Eat anything you want, but don't stuff yourself.
Week 2: Eat as much as you want without stuffing yourself, but eat cleaner.
Week 3 - 4: Decrease your portion sizes over time until you have a normal amount of food during meals. Continue to eat clean.
Since you have a supportive partner, involve him in your goals. It's easier to stop/slow down when you aren't going it alone.
MottiF:
That’s seems like very good advice
Munchies:
Tried and true, baby.
I can tell my issue is going to be recognizing that I don't have the be stuffed to the absolute limit to be satisfied. Over the weekend, I had several large "normal" meals... restaurant portions... that most people wouldn't be able to finish. But I felt an intense desire to pack in more food. I think in my head, "satisfied" has started to equate "about to burst and unable to breathe". That said, I've never had a desire to be immobile, and my absolute cap is 500 pounds, so there was always going to be a big transition at some point.

This guidance sounds very manageable and realistic
Munchies:
Thank you! This is a method that I have tested myself, and I can confirm its effectiveness.
I'm going to try this, because i've started to have SO MANY negative effects from gaining 80 pounds in about 10 weeks. I love every ounce, and I enjoy the way I look and would love to be bigger, but I do think you're right about needing a break. In addition to the tingling and pressure, my BP also went up from around 130/95 to a consistent 170/120, and that concerned my partner. He's into stuffing me and much as I'm into super-stuffings myself, but he'd be absolutely supportive even if I needed to lose. We talked about giving it a couple of months to see how I feel. It's been a fun ride though.

I've been gaining very quickly for the past for or five months. I have a heavy belly anyway, but when I've had several mega-stuffings a few days in a row, I need constant lotion to do with itchy skin as I grow. Lately, when very overfull, I've started to feel like even the fat on my midsection is stretched tight, and then I get that tingling sensation.i don't think there's any chance it will pop out; it's about two and a half to three inches deep. But it definitely stretches wider when I'm extra bloated.
I do know a feeder who helped a feedee gain a massive amount of weight with shakes and funneling daily. While I didn't see it, he says her belly button became more shallow instead of deeper. He says eventually, an hour after a pitcher and a half of cake shake, her belly button bulged out. I think it remained an outie as she kept growing.

Popping a pool float... breaking a bar stool... Splitting my pants... Getting stuck in a desk... turning around and destroying several porcelain items in a souvenir shop... The list goes on.
2seatsalways:
Totally worth it though. Was the bar stool already on the way out, what happened with that situation?
I had two stools from IKEA, and I had trouble putting them together because the holes in one didn't quite align correctly. I hired someone from TaskRabbit to assemble them, but one always had a wobble. I typically sat on the other, but one day, I ordered a pizza and plopped down on the wobbly one. It literally collapsed under my weight. I was able to break my fall somewhat, so I didn't hurt myself, but getting then-350 pounds off the floor isn't easy. And the stool was in pieces.
