This is kind of sick but after vomiting now you have less food do you go back and try to eat more need a brick over my head to know when to stop when you get past that point there is not going back pb or vomit

Flower, once you've had a PB or something stuck, YOU ARE DONE EATING FOR THAT MEAL. It's also a very good idea to stick to liquids for the next meal or two. PBing or vomiting irritates the stoma and esophagus, and it's very important to let it rest and recover before trying to eat any more solid food. There are many people here who can attest that NOT doing so can lead to even more PBing, increased irritation, and worse. Many times people who have pain and excess restriction to the point of needing medical attention can trace their problems to behavior like this.

Really, you don't want to damage yourself or your band. If you have a PB or vomit, stop eating and stick to liquids for 24 hours.

Alex hit the nail on the head. I could not of said it better myself and Iam one of those ones who can attest to NOT doing so like Alex mentioned above. I got a terrible case of esophagitis becuase of not doing liquids for 24 hrs after a PB.

Thumbs up to Alex's post. You will have MORE pain if you try to eat after vomiting. If I still feel pretty hungry, I will drink a protein shake & it usually does the trick. I also keep some yummy soups on hand for these reasons too!!

Isn't it weird how everything goes down better after vomiting? I try not to eat much after I vomit. Sometimes I have no interest in food afterwards, and other times I just kinda pick at it.

Thanks so much for this info - i wasn't doing this (doing liquids for 24 hours) and will immediately change my behavior. I usually skip the meal of the pb but was eating later meals during the day. I hope I haven't already done some damage to myself/my band.:faint:
