Yesterday, I reached a milestone I was hoping to never reach. I PB'D.

All I can say is OH DEAR GAWD!

Saturday, I had a really bad sliming incident. Do not, I repeat, do NOT let yourself get too hungry! I had a hair appointment, and they took close to 6 hours for a simply dye job.

I was very, very careful when I finally got some lunch, but I see now I should have either had something in my purse or started the meal with milk and let that sit for a while. I didn't get anything stuck, but man, the slimes were terrible! This was my first experience with the slimes.

dinner lastnight was a disaster. I ended up BPing for the first time since I was banded in March. I felt really yucky for the rest of the night too. I was hungry later that night, but a half cup of ice cream fixed me up. That and the cup of milk too...

BTW, the ice cream was from the quart I bought 3 weeks ago...

Do I wish a congratulations???

Do I wish a congratulations???

I was wondering the same thing!

I'm expecting more along the lines of "laughing and pointing."

OK, I'll laugh and point at you if you keep all that pbing to yourself! I don't want any part of it! I don't feel the least bit cheated because I haven't had one yet!

Oh sure Betty! I knew you were going to rub it in! Oh sure, be that way!

Oh how the mighty have fallen...

Somebody had to do it, and since I was in the area, I felt obligated!

Funny you should mention this Vinesqueen....I'm juuuust starting on mushies and pureed meats and I can EASILY see how a PB could happen. Today I was STARVING at lunch and got some chicken salad and was trying to eat slow but I'm SO hungry and as I went I could feel a small small teeny golf ball. Not bad, but enough to make me say "hmmm....I need to stop right here". I waited a while, heard a hellacious gurgle and felt okay again.

I can really see how a PB could happen fast and really bad.

This eating "real" food is going to be a tough adjustment.

I learned to not let myself get to that point. That point of desperate hunger. It hurts, and if I hurt myself, I'm not being kind to myself.

That's EXACTLY the point of not letting ourselves get too hungry!! No laughing and pointing fingers here, lady, but I will fasten on your official bandster badge. You get the purple one, with gold fringe.

Congratulations, and LET'S BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!

I KNEW it! When I saw the thread, I knew you PB'd and laughed my butt off! You go girl!!! Isn't it just awful?!!! Oh, puleeeze avoid that! I know you will. Congrats? Well, congrats for handling like a real woman and getting through it!

Nope...not gonna do it Crystal. I will not laugh and point 'cause I deal with PBing sporatically (enough that I've had 2 unfills) and it's just plain no fun.

WTG on that ice cream lasting so long!

It's rather an amazing experience, isn't it? (That's amazing in a Dante's 5th Level of Hell sort of way.) I was glad I had read descriptions of it here so I knew what was happening my first time--but describing and experiencing are two veeery different things!

Did you save some in a cup????

LOL eeewww!

-Well Congrats you pbing Bandster you-

one time gets you into the club so no more for you!!

6 hour dye job- Lord Have Mercy!

I hope they paid you in the end!

the ice cream was from the quart I bought 3 weeks ago

thats a major NSV right there!

Hope that was the first AND last!

Was it a quick one? or one of those long drawn out slime's that lasted for a couple of hours - THEN relief?

BTW - what'd you do to your hair?

Wowza no pointing from me but you will get the look with raised eyebrows. Do not miss the pbing just knocking on wood that it does not come around. Like Bablooy thinks Aunt Flo does..
