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*

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
