PB ? why does it happen

My questions is what is PB'ing?

This is what happens to me and not sure why, or if its something different:

I am about two weeks out since my surgery. My questions is that, I dont have much restrciction, i do feel full but I feel I can eat as much as I did before ( if I allowed myself I could do some damage) Sometimes when i eat, especailly mushy food I find that this flem is stuck in my throat. ( sorry for the TMI) kind of like when u have a cold. well i make it come up and its white/clear and slimmy. What is this and why is it happening? am i eating too much? or too fast?

If this has happened to anyone, i would appreciate feedback.

Thank you !

It happens if you eat too fast, too much or don't chew well. Everybody swallows about a quart of saliva a day. If your pouch gets too full there's nowhere for it to go so it comes back up.

PB is productive burp. when you eat to fast, don't chew food right or eat too much it will come up as a productive burp.
