But what is PBing? I keep seeing people talk about it, but I'm clueless. Does it mean throwing up?

Don't blame me. I am just a Southern girl waiting to see where in the world life takes me.

I love my family, my friends, pink dresses and peach half sweet tea, and shopping and playing on this forum..

Where does the dragons, nails & daggers fit in, huh???

Lets see. Princesses need dragons to keep the mean peasants away, the dragons use the daggers for defence and we all know the princess has pretty nails.

Does that answer your question.

Princess's nails are daggers to keep dragon under control.

She's a drug addict too!

OOOO, I'm scared!

What her dobies do after eating her food.

But there is no vomit in the picture.

I start my pre-op liquid diet in a week. Wondering how in the HELL I'm gonna get thru it? Uuuggh!

you are gonna get through like me and so many others did

one day at a time.....and just taking it slow....this is a mental

game..you must focus on the goal at hand (not the pre op even

though that is all you are thinking about)..

with me, i had to do 20 days all liquid before surgery and thought i'd never do it...

i truly did......but i wanted this to help save my life that i just did it..i took the bulls

tail and held on for dear life....

hub told me once when i was complaining, you wanted this surgery so do what you

have to do in order to get it. YOU can do this if you want....you can..you just need to believe in yourself. i believe in you.

**let me add briefly......this pre and or post op liquid...is only for a short while (yes it seems like forever)**

hello B****** .....wow what a night....

not to scare any one but I had another PB issue last night that lasted.....OMG 4 hrs....

I ate slow...an chewed...but the ham was dry and green veggies dont do good with my band...

but its what I made the family for dinner...so I thought if I chewed chewed and ate slow...

It was horrable....and after I PBd a lil I was dumb enough to think ok a lil sip of water will help now...BUZZZZZZ...

wronge......Today I feel tight....Im sure I have to bee swallon some.....so I am staying on liquids...and see how

I feel as the day goes on...

Aj....how do you deal with PBs.....and how often do you get them....this was the worse I have had....

almost makes you have a hate relationship with food...and Im really ok with that

Oh, I have been there and it BLOWS!!!!

First, how big were the bites? Even if I chew, chew, chew... if I take too big of a bite (even an inch size) I have that issue. Also, I really have to wait in between bites. Sometimes I wait too long to eat and am hungry so I chew and chew and grab the next bite without waiting and wham!

Also, I know a lot of people seem to have allergies in full swing this time of year and I have heard some mention that the drainage, extra fluids, etc. make their band tighter. Not sure if that may be part of why you are having more issues now.

Good luck and have a fun-filled liquid day!

It doesn't happen often, but (I am going to get hammered for saying this) if I'm still tight the next day I'll have a glass of wine. Alcohol relaxes the band. Then I can usually eat something soft.
