What do you do after you PB



Recommended Posts

I just PB'ed the first few bites of my lunch so threw it out. When you PB do you go on liquids for the rest of the day? I only have my first fill for a week, so I am still learning what the best thing would be.

After a PB, you'll be irritated and swollen, so switch to liquids for 24 hours, then I'll do mushies for 24 hours, and then try solids again.

Easy does it, hang in there!

Thank you. I hadn't PBed since last Tuesday, so this was a bit of a surprise. I think I may have taken those first few bites too quickly. This does take some time to learn doesn't it?

For me, it depends on the severity of it. If it's really a productive 'burp', and I just end up spitting something out, I'll try again in a bit. If there's wretching or anything like that envolved, I give it a rest at least for the rest of the day.

Yes, I did retch, an now I feel a slight burning sensation, so I will stay on liquids for the day. Do you guys PB often?

When I PB, I wait about 5 minutes, and finish eating what I started. I usually go MUCH slower the second time around, but I've never gone on liquids after a PB.

My doc says, 24 hours liquids after a vomiting episode. A PB is when food just comes back up in a burp. If you are heaving or if the "PB" lasts for any amount of time, the 24 hour rule applies. If the food just comes back up without any discomfort or struggle, you can resume eating just slower and smaller bites. If it is bad, I also do Aloe juice, to sooth the throat and stoma. ~Mandy

I'm kinda new to this, I was banded in April with some complications. I didnt get my first fill till about 5 weeks ago and had LOTS of humm I wont call it PBing, because I wretched!!!!!!! I think you need to REALLY pay attention I mean REALLY pay attention to what you eat in the first weeks after a fill. If it feels like maybe its not going down right ITS NOT. Try something else on your plate, in my expreiance taking another bite at that point is just asking for a wretching episode...

When I've had a really bad wretching episode I usually wait for the next meal or next day to try solids again. Hope this helped.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
