I'm not sure whether I have the right attitude to PB or not. I am 3 weeks out of my surgery and I am adjusting to eating slowly and chewing properly but there have been times where I've completely forgotten and leapt into eating quickly and sometimes there have been no "full" warning signs...one or two bites can literally set it off. And because the golf ball feeling is painful and so frustrating (it feels like you've choked on something except you can't drink water to help it go down so you resort to waiting for it to go down or come up whilst sliming). Sometimes its so discomforting that I rather it came up than wait for it to go down so I find bending over helps to bring it up. Does anyone else feel like bending forwards makes it come up? Are there any negative effects from PB (I know vomitting causes slipping of the band but does PB have the same effect too?). I am worried I'm doing myself harm by bending forward to bring the food back up. I tried the chewable papaya enzyme and it worked once but the rest of the time, all it does is aggrevate it and I end up PBing the remnants of the chewable tablet which can't be a good thing! Can anyone advise me please?
