Well I am happy, I just experienced my first PB. I wasn't experiencing much restriction lately so I thought I would switch over to solid foods. In the morning I ate some schrimp and eggs. Then now around 3.15pm I ate some rice and veggies and pork. I ate 3 bites of rice and then was happily chewing along on a piece of pork. Everything was fine. But then disaster struck, I couldn't swallow the food, it was just stuck in my throat. I got the hiccups so I tried to use some water to wash everything down. Bad idea!!!! It didn't want to go down the bottom so It went the other way!!! Up my throat. I threw up once, felt a little better but still felt like something was stuck. So I drank some more water and surely there it went again I threw up. I repeated it 3 more times and felt much better. Why am I so happy??? Well I finally proved nothing was wrong with my band, there is restriction there, but because I have been mainly drinking soup the last couple of days, I didn't notice it. Guess I better remind my self to eat slowly and chew and eat only 2 oz at a time from now on.

I hereby dub you a Bandster...

Let the ceremony commence!

Don't know about you, but rice does not work for me. It was one of the 'no no' foods on my doctor's list too. I've heard many bandsters say they cannot eat rice. It's one of the only things that has given me the 'hard stop' immediately.

Good luck to you.. congratulations on your PB.. ? lol..
