First PB/Sliming Incident

Ugh. Tonight was my first experience with PB/Sliming.

I had my surgery on 11/6 and my first fill on 12/2. I have a total of 4cc in my 10cc band. Before the fill, I was able to eat without problems. I didn't eat much, but I never got sick.

The fill gave me some restriction. I knew I was full when I felt the need to take a deep breath and sit up straighter. Sometimes I'd burp a bit, but nothing productive. I've been practicing taking small bites and chewing like crazy. I was feeling pretty good about how things were working out.

Tonight, I had 1 piece of sesame chicken. I was in pain instantly and knew something was wrong. It took less than a minute for me to lose about half of what I'd eaten. I still feel really awful.

The worst part is that I'm still hungry...but there's no way I'm eating anything else tonight.

Anyway...just wanted to share. This sucks.

I sure can sympathize with you...I had the same experience the othber day after getting my first fill...Live and learn, that is what I tryto tell myself...lol

Hang in there,

Don't feel bad, most of us do it... part of the learning process. Wait until you feel more restriction. You'll learn why you are supposed to 'sip' your drinks. Take small bites and chew more thoroughly than you ever have!

Don't forget after PB'ing... go back to the liquid phase for a day or two and follow the same 'fill' eating plan... just in case you are swollen from the PB.
