Last night I had my worst PB, slime and all. I'm the girl that felt left out because I never PB, then BOOM, it was awful. I'm coming down with the crud so I was on cold medicine. I think I know what I did wrong - I waited too late to eat dinner. I went shopping after work and shopped till I literally dropped into a chair at 10 p.m., super hungry, with my plate of the same old food I always eat (chicken, refris, tort chips.) I chewed really well, but I must have swallowed too fast. I only got a few bites in. An hour later I was really hungry, but Michelle's voice was in my head saying, "only liquids for a couple days." Well, I opted for a piece of fudge, which slid right on down. Not a good choice, but I was so hungry and there was nothing else soft around (a little Christmas fib.) Today I will try to stick with liquids (chocolate is a liquid cuz it melts.)

ohhhhhhhhhh...TMI

last sunday, i had the worst PB of my life! I had finished work really late, and i was doing some paper work before i left. I ate a 1/2 a piece of Naan bread ( like indian pita bread)...well, it got stuck, man did it get stuck. i had eaten it at 11:30 sunday evening. I did not pass it until 6am the next morning. Worst pain of my life. So watch out for Naan bread, if could hurt you..lol..

We can be a pretty gross bunch, that's for sure. If you think this is TMI, try checking out my other post under, "Warning, Gross Pictures."

I've never heard anyone having such a long PB stuck episode. Mine usually pass within 5-10 minutes. I can eat bread, just not as much as I used to, as long as I take small bites and chew really well.

Yeah, naan can be a problem! I had a piece of wonderful garlic naan at one of our neighborhood Indian restaurants last week, and -- yikes! I should mention that it usually goes down OK when soaked in yummy sauces.

Since we're talking gross PBs, I have to mention my worst one two weeks ago: salad. I barely made it into the office bathroom when I slimed down the front of my shirt (white, of course), and didn't quite make it to the toilet . . . so this icky green stuff pooled on the floor. Someone was in the stall next to me. Either she didn't notice or she was so grossed out that she got the hell out before I saw her. Luckily I had a blazer, which I kept buttoned all afternoon!

This is a request that one of our moderators PLEASE make this thread a sticky.

I'm sorry you're scared. I certainly understand your feelings! Surgery is just plain scary!! Hang out on LBT a bit & read the posts... I think you'll find that a lot of other folks are in the same boat.

The best advice I can give you is ask questions up the wazoo! Ask 'em until you're blue in the face! Ask them until you feel better!!

((( Hugs!! ))) Hang in there! It's a really exciting journey once it gets started!

Zoe has all the good PBs.
