This may be a silly question but i thought I had the concept of PBing down until lastnight. Can one PB as a indicator of being too full? In the past, I have PB due to eating something too fast and not chewing well resulting in large piece of food being built up, or from eating something mushy that is hard to break down like stuffing or soft bread. Last night, I went out to dinner with some friends and had a stuffed chicken breast (had spinach and cheese inside). It wasn't too big. I felt full but it was so good that I wanted to get that last bite in because wasn't enough to take home. I should have left it on the plate because I had to head to the bathroom and up it came.

Can be that you ate too much...Or ate too quick...Or are too tight...Or didn't chew well enough.

What does PB stand for?

PB can be a sign of LOTS of things. If my PBs could talk, here are some of the things they would tell me:

• I'm too tight (when I had been PBing for about 9 hours)
  
• You tried to swallow too much at once
  
• You tried to swallow without chewing well enough
  
• Your period will be starting within the next 4 days
  
• You just got off a plane
  
• It's before 6pm
  
• You tried to drink too soon after eating
  
• I'm just feeling bitchy today, and I'm taking it out on you
  
• I really didn't like that today, try again tomorrow, I might like it then
  
• I just wanted to make sure you still knew who's boss
  
• You should have stopped 1 bite ago

PB = Productive Burb. a nice term for vomiting.:sick But it's not a normal vomit, there's no projectile to it.....more like just slime coming up and sliding out on its own...thick mucus stuff that sometimes will have bits of the offending food in it and give you some relief.

Any better descriptions? That's just my experience talking. And it's not always going to happen right away.....sometimes it's an hour or so after eating when the food tries to move from the pouch to the lower stomach......it gets stuck in the stoma (the little channel that connects the two).

LOL.. if my band could talk, she'd tell on me. :rolleyes

Wheetsin, you're hilarious - I love your posts!

So true. Mine also lets me know that I'm still fertile. Even when I had no fill, I could PB during that time of the month. :mad:

Definitely. Only twice since banding have I done this, pressed on with something becuase it was sooooo good and really eaten too much!

And I was a bees dick away from Pbing both times. If I had have moved, taken a deep breath or bent over I would have lost the lot. It was only force of will that kept it down (was in public).

Its a horrid feeling, bad enough for me to not do it again. But yeah, its like its sitting in your throat, backed all the way up.

Oh - and my PB's are projectile, exactly like a normal vomit and they come out my nose too. Erk.

One bite can do it. When your band says stop, you have to listen.
