whoa. just had first pb episode.



Recommended Posts

well, nearly 3 months in and i had my 3rd fill today, complete with my first productive burp (pb). that'll teach me to finish off the last few bites of tofu. all in all, not a horrible experience (sliming/spitting/regurgitating food) but it got me to thinking: now what?

what exactly does one do after a pb? i know now to be a bit more careful and pay better attention to my body's signals - is there anything else? should i just drink liquids for the next few hours/days?

what does everyone else do after a pb? anything special or do you just continue on your normal schedule?

Thanks!

I had my first pb last week - I was working a 36 hr shift didn't have access to Protein Shakes or Soups (mostly because I didn't bring any, and I have to bring everything I want to eat).

Anyway, I tried to "push through" and just focus on taking tiny bites and chewing really well.

Unfortunately, that didn't go so well, and I ended up having another 2 pd episodes in the next 48hrs - likely from swelling and irritation from the first pb episode.

Needless to say, once I got home, I did 24hrs of liquids (protein shakes, soups), and then another 24hrs of soft foods.

Since then, I haven't had another problem.

I had my first PB earlier this week. I'm allowed mushies, but didn't bring anything to work. Rather than run to the grocery for cottage cheese or similar, I decided that I'd get chicken at subway, take small bites, chew well, and throw most of it away. Well, I must not have chewed well enough, because it happened.

Fortunately, I was eating in my office with the door closed, so no one saw me. I sipped some Water, and then waited until I got home that afternoon to try anything else. The cottage cheese went down all right, and no problems since.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
