instantaenous PB



Recommended Posts

OK, I have plans to be the "model" bandster, so in theory I should NEVER pb, but pobody's nerfect.

Y'all are scaring me to death with these stories of carrying around "spit cups" and hurling on your new clothes!

Tell me that this is the exception and not the rule PLEASE!

I think it's the exception - I've PB'd once so far (OK I've only been banded over a month) but I knew when I swallowed that piece of chicken that it was way too big and I hadn't chewed enough. I had more than enough time to get to the bathroom and I had just started to eat so there wasn't much to come back up. I had a small bowl of chili for lunch today (yummy!) and I was fine, cause I chewed chewed chewed. It may boil down to how sensitve your stomache was before. I use to be able to eat everything, never a sign of heartburn or indigestion (of course maybe if I did I wouldn't have gained so much weight) so the band for me is a restriction, my appetite is much less as is my capacity to eat but so far nothing seems to bother me as long as I chew it to death.

These stories are so funny!

I am at a month now and no PB yet.. I chew real well and I am so scared of feeling that feeling I felt in the hospital.. (horses trompling on my chest)

I am going to get a fill in April I hope..

I've been banded nearly 6 months and have probably pb'd 4-5 times, and always knew it was coming. Saliva starts getting abundant and thick like slime, and you have to spit it out, don't swallow it! I've never not felt it coming, and usually kind of help myself cough it up in order to get it over with. I've yet to have one come up without warning.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
