First 'near PB experience'

Hi all **gross alert**

Last night we had spag bol for dinner. I have been having touble slowing down while I eat for over a week as most of my meals have been getting stuck. The stuckness lasts for about 5 minutes then it's over.

Last night I clearly ate too much and probably too quickly to as I had a 'near PB experience'. I leant over the toilet for over an hour in pain trying to hack up the food. But I think my body resists vomiting as I haven't vomited in over 20 years (I have had three kids in that time and never vomited - go figure). I willed my body to vomit it up but it just wouldn't come. I had a few dry retches but no food in them. Of course I could have filled many cups with the amount of saliva I had! Gross I know.

Anyway the stuckness/fullness eventually passed after an hour and all was good again. But during that hour, it was very painfull, but I would have been better if I could have PB'd. I will be very careful from now on!

I think I have restriction, but I don't have the feeling of fullness after this third fill yet I had it after my second fill. Today I am letting the band rest and having fluids for the day. I think it needs it!

That does not sound fun at all. I think I'm glad I didn't get that last fill though fighting the hunger beast is a pain. Hope you get used to it soon.

PS - I'm like you ... never throw up. I've only thrown up once in over 14 years and that was because of a surgery.

Last night must have been the night for PBs. I ate too much at a pot luck dinner. It seemed to go down fine but in about 15 minutes I was headed to the ladies room to throw up. I threw up a little but not all of my meal, that stayed stuck for about two and a half hours and then it came up. Yuck! I'm going to have to learn to be way more careful. It hurt, a bunch!

I haven't thrown up yet, but I have gotten stuck a few times which sends me into sliming modes for about 1-2 minutes, but it doesn't happen a lot. I never want to get so tight that I PB. Although, last night I ate so much soup that I was very uncomfortable for a pretty long period of time and "sloshy" feeling. But it passed. I really hate getting stuck. It really is a bad feeling. I'm suppose to get a fill next friday and I think I'm going to cancel it because I honestly have good restriction right now and dont' think I'll need it.
