PB with Choking... couldn't breath!!

[michellepom 0]

So, I guess I had my first PB yesterday, but it really scared me... i couldn't breath for about 15-20 seconds until I finally threw up. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this?? I couldn't talk or breathe, it was very scarry!! I ate brocolli which my nurse told me to stay clear of, but I've never had any problems with anything else, so I tried it like a dummy... it was cooked well, but after that I will never do it again!! IS this a normal PB experience, or did I just have bad luck and choked on my PB??

No idea on the choking thing -- I did not have that, I was just really uncomfortable, and sweaty :thumbs_up:. Glad you made it through OK.

I am on a business trip, and of course, there is always a "walking" vendor/food dinner reception. I took the plate that was offered to me and began my tour of vendors (and, please don't comment on the type of food I ate, we can deal with that later :frown:. On my plate was a small oat/wheat roll with sliced BBQ, to which I added a bit of BBQ Sauce (picture the size of a raquetball for diameter), also had a spoonful of polenta, and three strawberries. All seemed to be going fine. Finished my plate after several walk arounds of the vendors. Then I spotted some sweet potatoes, mashed to the point of almost liquid. The chef handed me a small cup to which I sprinkled a bit of bacon. I took one bite and knew in an instant it was wrong. Ended up in the ladies room, and did what I guess was a PB -- first time. Bad feeling -- was sweating, and felt shaky. Only thing that came up was that bite of sweet potatoes and bacon.

Is it possible that my band has finally settled and there is real restriction, or did I just blow it with the actual food choices?

I think that it was a normal PB experience I was banded on 2/28/08, and had my first PB on this past Sunday I was eating meat loaf of all things. I had taken a small bite and I guess it got stuck I couldn't talk and felt like my chest was going to burst. It wouldn't go down or come up on its own. I know you should avoid vomitting and this was the first time I had ever did this but the only way I got relief was to stick my finger down my throat and induce vomitting I felt better but felt sore.
