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.

I'm a pretty fat girl, and I carry a lot of weight in the belly/midsection. I've managed to stuff three days in a row, and I've gone up 8 pounds in food weight today from feasting and chugging. This isn't the first time, but I feel a pulling sensation around my belly button and a very light tingling. So I'm curious. I've always thought belly buttons popping out is the stuff of WG fiction. Has anyone ever seen it in real life, from stuffing/weight gain and not pregnancy? I think I probably have way too much fat around mine for this to happen, but I definitely feel some pressure behind it.

Nice. My partner is 445lbs. She seems unsure but whats another 65lbs for a half ton women!
Munchies:
Hey, man. If your wife is unsure, then you need to help her maintain until she can figure out what she wants. You may be the feeder, but she has the final say.
I fattened up my partner too, but when he told me that he was having a hard time with the weight, I respected his concerns and supported him with his choices. To do anything else is selfish.
DevientSkal:
This^^^
Yes-- when I got back to my previous fattest weight, my partner asked if I was happy and physically comfortable. Even though we previously talked about getting me to 450, reality can sometimes set in. And things get harder quickly when you're obese. So far, I'm happy with my body, weight distribution, and appearance, and I do want to keep going. But I love that he respects me enough to revisit the conversation.

I don't know about "power" in my case, but I definitely feel more confident. At 5'3", I'm usually the fattest (roundest) person in most rooms at 300; At 400, I overflow most chairs and have the biggest belly most people will see. And I like that. I like that I'm not easily jostled around or squeezed into a corner. I don't need to be dominant, but I also like not being invisible.
