old habits died a hard hard death tonight. i've been banded 4 months and tonight was my first PB..

we went for pizza. i wasnt too hungry, but i had some bread. just a tad bit of tightness in my chest. i was fine...

waited about 10 mins for the pizza. first piece, no problem.

i commented to DH that i get sooo hungry later in the evening that i am just going to eat 1 more piece.

less than half way thru that piece, i get more of a tightness... hmmm ... better slow down a bit.

i take a nice big gulp of tea (i normally do not drink with my meals but since i worked out right before dinner i was SO thirsty).. major tightness ... MAJOR tightness. i put my arms up (read that somewhere)... still tight in the chest. burp a little bit. rush to the bathroom, cannot even think about even closing the door and or locking it ...

it wasnt THAT bad but i dont want it to happen again ...

so now what? am i on liquids for a day or so??

Hi J, This is a side topic, but I just went to your site and saw a picture of your daughter. She is a dolly!:biggrin1: Do you plan to adopt another child?

Id say liquids for a day, yes and the frequency of pbing is dangerous for the band so no you dont want to have that happen again, right? Your doing great, four months and this is your first pb? AWSome

Wow, four months is good from what I hear! I PB'ed on my first scrambled egg. That was Saturday morning. I was so excited about eating something that was not liquid (and having company to talk to) that I was eating FAST and talking all at the same time. Three bites and it hit me, the PB'ing I have been reading about! Now, I am sure to be concentrating when I eat something, even when it is mushy!

My doctor requires liquids for 24 - 48 hours after a PB eppisode.

I'm not looking forward to my first one either. I'm glad you survived it!
