Wooowwww...WTH was THAT? First PB?



Recommended Posts

This might be grossly descriptive just because I'm a little confused. I've never had anything come back up when I've had the stuck feeling or sliming - it usually all ends up just going through if I just be patient.

But anyway...sitting here at work, eating my yummy chicken. And I KNOW I'm chewing this stuff to liquid, so I don't understand how it could get stuck.

So I've read a few stories about PB'ing and I seem to remember pretty much every story saying that they did not have nausea to go along with the upchuck? I got stuck on the chicken dish and all of a sudden felt like I had the stomach flu, or something. Achy, hot flashes, dizzy, major nausea...

Got up to walk around hoping that would make whatever the problem was pass. Noooo...it made it worse. It's like my stomach knew I was moving around, so it wanted to, too. Standing straight up over the ground, I slimed quite a bit. Then I totally upchucked like a cup of PURE liquid. I know I had not eaten that much (like 3 bites up to that point) - it was mixed with slime.

LOL...now that I've grossed you out if you're still reading, my question is this - it was ALL LIQUID. I felt it, I saw it - there was nothing to get "stuck." WTHeck made me upchuck? I don't get it. As soon as that stuff came out, the nausea went away. ODD.

Anybody experience something simliar? Nausea to go with the PB, and then PBing and it being pure liquid?

I guess I'm on liquids for the next couple days. Fine with me, though - it's been pure hell trying to eat today for some reason.

Sounds gross Steph. Nothing like that has happened to me. I usually wait for it to go down either on it's own or with juice. I did have a bad experience a couple of weeks ago when something got stuck and I tried drinking juice which would not go down. It just gurgled in my throat and I thought I was going to choke to death, so I put my fingers down my throat and threw everything back up. It was my worst experience with the band so far.

Hey Steph, yes, that happened to me. The nausea happened right after surgery. Since then I don't think it's so much nausea as sweats. Lately I've gotten a burning sensation in my esophagus. I have PBd pure liquid too. I'm with you, I don't know WTH is up with that!

i had 1st fill 11-5 & a bad experience 11-7. unsure what happened - stuck? felt like pressure & horrible indigestion around location of band. hiccups, burps, & almost threw up twice in the 45 mins. it lasted. what is sliming? pb? i'm sure i didn't chew enough as i really didn't think the fill was doing anything. i ate less tha 4 oz before this happened, so it wasn't overeating. since then i've been fine, but never get a full feeling on my 4 oz meals.

Steph, this happened to me last night! I see what you mean now. My back has been hurting lately and all of a sudden my back was really hurting bad, I had a headache, was dizzy, felt really hot and nauseous. Five minutes later I puked, then immediately felt better. Then about 1/2 hour later it happened again, and then one more time for a total of 3 puking episodes, always having the flu-like symptoms beforehand. I'm telling you, I'm starting to get sick of how this band makes me feel. :thumbup:

I'm constantly washing my hands in dread of getting the stomach flu, and I'm scared to travel in case I get a bug. Seriously, if nothing bad happens to the band before then, I will be getting it out next year.

While driving a couple weeks ago, I gulped down a bunch of cold Water with a couple asprin (forgot I had a band) and GOT THE Water STUCK. My esophogus immediately treated the ball of water like an intruder and started producing slime to help work it out. Fabulous - more Fluid. After a few minutes, I had to pull the car over and hurl up the water and probably twice as much slime.

I laughed about it with my doctor later. Honestly, if you had told me as a teenager that I would one day be pulling over to puke up WATER I would have never believed it.

It's amazing how much slime your body makes as a defense mechanism to help move stuck things through the system. Sometimes, I just sit and spit into a cup when I get something stuck. When that happens I can easily spit at elast 4 oz of pure ole clear spit in 5 minutes or less.

Erg, everyone's PB's are different.

I've never pb'd liquid, only solid food, including the offending bite of whatever it was. I usually get a sharp pain at my belly button, a cold sweat and pain in the stomach - an ache - but it still doesnt feel ANYTHING like what I'd call nauseous, which is far yuckier. Its just simply a physical reaction, something needs to come up, up it comes and that's it. The only bad part of it is if it wont come immediately and i have to spend 45 minutes hanging round the bathroom spitting saliva.

Thanks, I still have the PBing and I think the term "slimming" best describes the event.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
