First Time for Everything...

I had my surgery in August 2012, and I considered myself to be a pretty experienced Bander. I never had any vomiting, sliming, or PBing until TODAY!!

I ate my normal morning snack of Jack Link's beef Jerky. For some reason, I started burping and felt funny. I'm glad no one else was in the office at the time because they probably would have thought I was choking or something!! I got up and started walking around. No relief. I eventually found my way to the bathroom just in time! It was instant relief!! But it was scary because I didn't know what was happening since I had never had that experience before!!

It just goes to show how things change at any time with the band. I chewed, chewed, chewed, and chewed, but for whatever reason the jerky didn't sit well with me today. So it will be mashed potatoes for dinner!! Now I know what it feels like, and I don't want to go through that again!!

At our center we are advised to be on liquids after a stuck, followed by mushies the following day, followed by the regular diet. I'm sure mashed potatoes will be okay for you, your stomach has been through a trauma =(

Learn and move on, right?

Good luck!
