O.K., be honest....every single time you slime/PB you do liquids for 24 hours after your PB? Yes or no.....

I don't.I'm usually hungry at the time it happens and I'm eating too fast.I usually let it finish then I will go back and eat alot slower.It's happened twice to me so far.

If it is a retching PB that empties my pouch, then YES! 24 hours or more. If it is sliming, mouthfuls of saliva and other that if swallowed cause problems, NO. I put a coffee cup on my sternum, spit the offending material, and wait an hour or more for the stoma to clear. Then back to normal.

If it was just slime/golf ball, no. If it's a full-blown PB, just liquids. I don't eat anything until the next day.

No, I hate getting through the slimming though, then I drink warm tea, wait about a half an hour before attempting anything else

It depends on the degree of the PB and my hunger level. If it is bad, I may try to do liquids or at least purees for the rest of the day. If it was just a quick cough/spit of something that got stuck, then usually I continue eating... although I may avoid whatever food that got stuck.

Early on, I didn't wait, no. But I lived and learned, and now if I WERE to PB, I'd absolutely stick to liquids for at LEAST 24 hours. I've had the vicious cycle where inflammation comes on the heels of a bad PB episode, and it's WAY worse than avoiding it in the first place.

No, I don't do 24, but with the couple of terrible dry-heave vomiting that I've done exactly three times, I stuck with Soup, and very soft foods.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
