How long does a PB take to get out?



Recommended Posts

This may be a weird question but... How long does it take you to get out whatever is stuck/bothering you?

From the time the salivary response goes into overdrive and the sliming begins and then the foaming, etc., it takes me 30-90 minutes just to get to the end of the episode. Fortunately, I work at home and have only had these incidents there, so it's at least manageable. (Though my family wonders where I've gone to when I spend so much time in the bathroom...) I try hard not to force it up since retching/heaving can cause slippage.

But how do the rest of you who live and work outside the home deal with this? :confused2:

My sliming episodes only last a few seconds to under a minute. Get the stuff up and I'm fine...plus it's well lubricated making it easier. It's from the esophogas and my stomach doesn't do anything.

But that's just if I ate more than I should.

If I eat the wrong thing {done it 2-3 times and I avoid that like the plague} then it takes hours. Unlike sliming, this is like gut wrenching thrusts. Feel like I'm going to die, hurts like the dickens, too.

It varies for me as well. I think it depends on how quickly I notice I'm stuck. If it's pretty early on, I can basically lean over the toilet and it comes out. Sometimes, it takes a little more work.

If I'm an absolute idiot and eat something I know will get stuck...I pay the price. Usually a few trips back and forth to the bathroom. My husband says...

"Round two, Angela vs. the toilet.

Round three...etc." Smartass! LOL!

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
