The burp part wouldn't be bad, it's the productive part that is alarming. I know it's just unchewed food, but that's gross. I read on here where someone PB'd and rechewed the food and swallowed and I thought I'd throw up.

We're all in the same boat. We may as well support one another. I so appreciate all the veterans such as luluc. We're trying to get to where she is. Thanks luluc for being an inspiration! They are truly "band" savers! :wub:

Me too! Thank you luluc! You are an inspiration!

you are very sweet - but as long as i have this band, i'm learning something new every day!!!!!

Just keep teaching us, please. :biggrin:

I could never have rechewed. The productive part half killed me even though I knew what it was. I actually almost threw up just because I did PB. :mellow:

I give up, what's PB?

PB is productive burp. It basically is to spit up undigested food that won't go down into the stoma because of either a.) didn't chew enough, b.)ate too fast, c.) ate too much, or d.) took too big of a bite.

Is there a trick to help it go down instead of up? I tried raising my arms, but since it was in my throat, that did nothing. I tried a sip of Water, but realized too late that was the wrong thing to do. It just gurgled pass the chicken.

Walking helps me when I'm stuck. I haven't tried it but the nurse at my Dr's office said drink hot herbal tea. She said it would "relax" the band and allow the food to pass. I've only been stuck for a few minutes on a couple of occasions so I haven't felt the need to try that yet. If you do try it or anyone else here has, please let me know if it helps you.

Though I hope to never PB again, if I do, I will try to the hot herbal tea. That does sound like it could work.

With the band I'm finally learning to listen to my body. I know I've had too much when I actually feel satisfied vs. full. If I feel full than I've gone too far. If I go onto "stuffed" than I'm actually miserable (been there - done that and it's no fun). I hope this helps.

Since I got banded on July 16, 2008, I haven't been full or stuffed. My band won't allow it.

If you don't mind my asking, how many fills did you have to have before you reached this point?

I was like this from the start. Maybe it was mental.. I get a tight feeling in my chest and then lose interest in eating even if I'm still hungry. My love affair with food is starting to turn into something else. Don't know what, but it doesn't feel like love anymore.

I have to admit that I understand that. I was still loving food before this episode. I had been able to eat whatever I wanted. Now I am really scared to eat. I have forced myself to eat, but I would NEVER have thought the day would come that I would look at food and not want it. I took a bite of an apple and was so scared that I threw the rest of it away.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
