PB question



Recommended Posts

Is this something where it comes up suddenly? Is it just the food that recently went down or a good "barfing"? Can you descretly do it into your napkin or does your body shake like a vomit? If you have to "leave the table" do you have to time to get somewhere before it comes up?

I swear in all the reading, I've missed this info somehow :)

Sliming too - same questions.

Thank you!!!

I can only tell you the range of things that happen to me....

Sometimes something gets stuck and I feel myself making very thick saliva. I think it's interesting that the body can create this stuff that I've never seen before, to help something slide down. Anyway, there is time to go to the bathroom. Or at home to grab two layers of paper towels. The first time I did it I suffered. I just sat there making this gross stuff and hurting. And sweating. And sometimes with a runny nose for some strange reason. Now, I get my paper towels, spit that slime out a few times and then sometimes that's all. If that doesn't work, then I know I'm going to hurl, but it is usually a ladylike hurl of a small amount of stuff that comes up with minimal drama. Practice makes perfect. The only other thing I get is sometimes something is stuck and it feels really minor, and, thanks to another bandster here, I know to raise my arms over my head and sometimes it will go on down. I also know NONE of this stuff happens often if I sit up straight with good posture while I eat. Go figure..... I also know that some bandsters carry paper cups in their purses for emergencies. I like paper towels because they absorb. Maybe a paper cup with a paper towel in it is the best of both worlds.

In my case there is no staying at the table- the sliming is so heavy I cant talk and breathing hurts. If im at that level of sliming its not going down!! I have always made it to the bathroom- although I have also had to use the bushes outside a resturant. Later laughing because IF people saw me they probably thought I had too much to drink.

Sometimes getting up and walking helps, arms up helps to. Im not in the clear until the sliming and the pain stop!! The sliming is amazing ability of the body!! It is THICK spit and there is no disguising it so you might as well go away from the table. The harder you try to swallow it the more you make!! Blockage is blockage my slime wont even go down. Once I get that pain and block message from the stomach to the brain- I also get runny nose, sometimes even diarrhea! Go figure.

The PB is dainty compared to full blown gastrointestinal vomiting. However it is coming up. The relief is INSTANT!!

The longest slim I had was 30-40 minutes and the only thing that helped was papaya enzyme and warm Water.

I was hoping to be like so many others that never had a pb- unfortunatedly I have several a week then none for several weeks and no relation to fills. ????

Betsy...

I swear by Bounty brand paper towels! LOL

I agree. They're the quicker picker upper, if you catch my drift.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
