What pre-op diet? Sorry, I was talking with my mouth full...

It's really hard and well...it's really hard. Enough said.

I'm looking forward to the trip to TO tho. I hope to go to the Science Cntr and Royal Ontario Museum. If I'm not in too much pain. Cool, the museum on Codeine, maybe I'll go to a laser light show or perhaps wander the streets in my housecoat and fluffy slippers. Watch for me on the news. "Chubby tourist resists arrest and refuses to return shopping cart to local grocer. When asked about the cart she promptly corrected reporters and asked that they call it 'HER SWEET RIDE'!"

'The year of the vomit'

Ha, Ha, I like that!!...........not really

I find my PBing goes in stages. I wont PB for months, then 2-3 in a row. Hence, I do believe that the irratation thing is true. If you irratate your band, the more tightness, heartburn and PBing goes on, and its like chasing your tail til you give it a rest for a day or so.

I didn't PB for the first 3 and one half months. Since I have been banded - Sept 7, 2006 - I have PB-ed twice.

what the heck is a pb???????

Basically throwing up.

If you eat too fast or don't chew enough, and food gets stuck in the band and cant go down, well...........it comes up. Thats the long and short of it. It's sometimes is accompanied by pain(when it is stuck), then a huge relief, and is usually accompanied with large amounts of slime.

I'm not trying to scare you, honestly. It's not that bad. Everyone will do it eventually........except maybe Irishmist(hey Maria, are you still a PB virgin?).

Basically it's throwing up.

Hope that helps.

Yes Cloe i am still a PB virgin, i hope for a long time. Although since my second fill i find i have to be more vigilant with my chewing, specially when i am eating salmon, i had some the other night for dinner and it got stuck, it was quite painfull but lucky for me i didn't PB.

Maria :(

In the interest of supporting my tendency to be "retentive," I would also add that some bandsters seem to insist that PBing is not "exactly" like vomiting. Vomiting comes from the stomach, whereas a PB ("productive burp") is more of a rebound of food that does not make it past the band to get to the stomach in the first place.

But then, what do I know. I'm still on the outside, looking in, dreaming of someday becoming part of the "In"(amed) Crowd (Surgery date 1/16).

Well, I'm familiar with Pb and it isn't vomit - it is productive burbing and I hope if you're a PB virgin it stays that way for you.

Have a great day!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
