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*

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
