What does PB'd mean?



Recommended Posts

Jack, that's putting it lightly... lol...

It basically happens when you don't chew well enough, take too big of a bite, eat too fast, or eat something that your stomach just can't handle. We call it a PB because it's different than throwing up, in the sense that it's quite literally just your food coming back up. There's not any stomach acid involved or anything.

From my experience they are pretty mild for the most part, but the other night I had Pasta that didn't have enough sauce on it and it was kinda painful when my stomach was trying to get that to come back up. I'm pretty sure the key to everything is making sure ALL of your food is moist enough. ;)

Ok....that is disgusting! ;-) I will sure watch what I eat! I am so glad that I am learning all of this before my surgery.

I am just sooooo paranoid about PBing....I won't know when I'm ready for a fill cuz I eat only what I think looks like enough. Haven't really been hungry but I am sure I can eat more....just afraid to.....so how can I tell if I will need one?

Lauri, hang out with us for a while and you'll find that we "talk" about all kinds of "disgusting" little body habits. Anything's game here. LOL

Nancy, you've lost 31 lbs. in less than a month! Wow! You're doing fantastic! That has to be some kind of record! You're very wise to be eating cautiously and avoiding pbing. It is NOT a good thing.

I don't recommend PBing but, don't be afraid of it. Don't try to make yourself do it of course, but, if you feel your food is going down and you are still hungry, try eating a little more. PBing, for me, first starts with a heartburn like feeling. Almost like you took a pill and it went down the wrong way. If you feel this feeling. Stop eating immediately and wait until you don't feel that feeling anymore. The first time it happened to me I was at work and thought the pain was a heart attack. It is not a pleasant feeling, but, unfortunately you will more then likely have it happen after you start getting fills

Yes PB is a weird feeling.. You almost know it immediatly when its gonna happen. With me there is almost never turning back. I stop eating what Im eating and then patiently wait. Not too long off, a couple of minutes or so I feel the urge and then its out. Lost appetite though. I find it happens when I dont chew well enough or try to eat too fast. Old habits are hard to break.. or take a drink and push something down sometimes makes it stuck,,, live and learn,, youde think someone ws gonna steal our plate or something the way we scarf down. No wonder were the size we are. :car: or were.. :) Lost 18 1/2 lbs since my band June 20th so Im gonna keep on keepin on,,,,

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
