Hey all~

I had my first major PB last night, I have had them before but this one I would call MAJOR.

I ate a 6" pizza Sub from Subway (says Heather as she ducks from all the screaming I will get for eating something so bad)

Well this morning I wake up with a horrible sore throat... and the sniffles. I have a cold, but I also think that I really irritated my esophagus last night. I tried to eat a salad at lunch and couldn't get any down.

Should I stick with liquids and mushies to heal my throat? I think I have seen you guys post that here before.

THANKS, and don't worry, I will never eat the BREAD BEAST again!!!

Heather if you are feeling that bad, I would stay on straight liquids...not even mushies for 24 hours and then go to mushies for another 24 just to make sure everything is healed and all swelling is down.

Anytime you PB you should do liquids!

Oh yuck girl !! are you feeling better today?

I am a lot better today. I am taking it easy and not over doing it.

Thanks for your concerns and support!

Forget about your sore throat and worry about your band! After a bad PB, you need to take it easy a couple days. Stick to soft foods and liquids only to let things settle. Girl, take care of yourself!

Another thing to mention, is that you might make sure you are careful not to eat right before bed. If the food sits in your pouch all night, since you are laying down it's probably likely that it sits there until morning, which could make you very tight in the morning which might cause problems THEN even if last nights meal seemed fine, you know?

Feel better!

:doh: Ouch! Hope your feeling better! :hug:

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I took it easy for 24 hours and I am fine. Cold is almost gone too!

I ate earlier last night and it really helped.
