I am SOOO proud of myself (kinda long)

The problem, Newlapper, is that's exactly what I planned to do. The bread just fell into the ol' piehole! It jumped in without my permission! I actually ate the topping first, with every intention of tossing the bread, but something went wrong. Very wrong.

Well, I do have to dip some of the bread in sauce, lol. BUT, I SAY BUT, NOT AS MUCH AS I USED TOO! LOL We are still looking good, aren't we fire sista!

DeLarla, You are a pip! You're the funniest person on this site, and just what I need right now. I'm struggling so with my eating (too much). Probably need my third fill. But I'm just being so bad about learning to eat a new way. I swear I'm going to have to find a band-related therapist (hypnotist would probably be what I need!) to get me on the right track. I'm not feeling discouraged - just learning that this is really up to me. I was banded in February. I'm still a plebe with a lot to learn. candy

candy B, you're so yummy I want to eat you! Imagine if my mom named me pizza? If I ever have twin boys, they'll be Ben and Jerry, just for torture sake! Glad I could make someone smile, winky wink.

One might think I'd be a closet clown. Unfortunately, I'm just as immature in person. Wacka-do wacka-do.

What does PB mean?

Ahh, Don't cry, Donali. DeLarla must be a natural-born comedienne!

You're going to have to "settle" for being crowned "MOST PROLIFIC AND CONSISTENT INFORMATION-GIVER", and a bandster we thank god we have reading and responding to our posts.

Love, candy

Magnolia, "PB" is bandster shorthand for "productive burp"--a nice way of saying that something eaten has come back up because it wouldn't go down. The actual experience varies considerably from person to person; some people have refined the art to being able to do it on purpose without anyone noticing, while for others (me) it's painful and unpleasant.

Even though we talk about it casually it's something to be avoided because it is hard on the stomach and the band. Sometimes it absolutely can't be helped, but it's a very good idea to be gentle with our stomachs afterward by sticking to liquids or soft foods for a couple of meals.

thanks for clarifiying the PB guess I haven't experienced one yet......thats good no?

[Alexandra 55]

Oh, yeah, I think it's good. Lots of people don't feel like "official" bandsters until they've done it, but you'll do just fine without it.

That's definitely very good.

I hear people going on about 'pb'ing' all the time. That really concerns me. I would think our goal would be to avoid it at all costs.

There are two kinds of people : those who have and those who will. It is inevitable, but I sure don't want to do it anymore often than I have to.

Have a great day!

[DeLarla 22]

I'm one of those who hasn't PB'd yet. First I really wanted to because like Alex says, it would make me feel official. However, what if I have one really big one backed up waiting to surprise me when I least expect it? I'm working extra careful at chewing and stopping when full in fear of that day. Plus I've heard NEVER eat and drive, and never eat on the run or while walking around, so I have to be sitting to eat.
