How often do you PB?



Recommended Posts

For me, I can get "stuck" but don't actually PB.

Me too. I've been banded for 2.5 months and have only gotten stuck once (and I've had 3 fills). The "stuck" feeling was not a good one, but it only lasted about 5 minutes and was no big deal. I'll never eat tater tots again, though.

I do try to eat eggs for Breakfast and some meat for the Protein, but I have a hard time getting meat down. I try and showtime rotissaire my chicken so it is moist enough to slide down. I really can't seem to get any red meat or pork down so I try to stay away from that as much as possible. I do eat fish quite a bit as well. Any suggestions on how to get more protein in my diet?

I actually vomit instead of PB, I was doing this quite often but after getting a piece of fish stuck for about 6 hours I have relooked at paying attention to what I am eating and stopping the second I get the feeling I am getting to full. I have not told many people that I had the surgery and I think I was trying to "pass" I ate out and just ate less. But it was to much and I usually ended up in the bathroom. I have desided not to eat in public and am feeling much better. I now have a 3rd fill and am eating alot less and starting to lose weight. No vomiting I am listening to my body.

I only have 5 weeks under my belt and have PB'd twice. I tried to eat a bisquit when I was adding solid foods back in and boy did it not go down. Painful and tons of spitting up mouthfuls of goop before the bread came back up. It definitely isn't like vomiting for me, it is more like a baby spitting up. No heaves or anything, it just comes up with that last glob of slime. Did it again today (had first fill Monday) with a bite of garlic bread. Bread is out for me, it just isnt worth it.

I'm only 2 1/2 months out, and have only had 2 episodes that I think were semi-PB's. First was the day before my fill, I ate WAY too much, got a pain in my chest & left shoulder, and a horrible headache. It lasted about 15-20 minutes. 2nd time was when I tried to eat a small bite of toast. Pain in the chest, and after about an hour I burped (the kind of burp when you drink a soda too fast). *Relief*

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
