Well, I had my first PB this morning. I've had the band for almost six months and never had one before. I was actually thinking that, when people talked about "PBing" they meant vomiting because I have done that occassionally.

Um, no. Totally different, it turns out. Thank goodness I had a winter scarf in the car that caught almost all of it or I would have had to turn around and change my clothes.

I guess my second fill (three weeks ago) has settled in!

Note to self: Keep a PB/vomit can in the car because that stuff is gross!

Note to self again: Don't eat hard Protein in the morning. oatmeal it is!

Anyway, I'm a member of the club now. And I need a new scarf!

LOL! Your post made me laugh! I too, am new to PB nation. I hadn't experienced it, or 'sliming' until the last 2 weeks after my 2nd fill.

I laughed at your idea of the can in the car. I like to know I have a spitoon handy too! I am hoping that I have learned from these PB experiences so that I can avoid them, but ah, we are now members!

Hope you have a good day!

LOL!!! That was funny, sorry your story not what happened to you ok...Well get yoruself out there and get a new scarf ok!!!!

Oh yes, that scarf has been tossed. I probably could have saved it, but Spring is on the way anyway.

I'm not glad I had my first PB but at least now I know what everyone is talking about!

And I did learn that chicken sausage (even 3/4 of a link) is not exactly a good Breakfast choice. I actually paused before heating it up, thinking, "Hmm, I hope this doesn't come back up on me." I chewed, chewed, chewed, but, alas alack, it still didn't agree.

I've had several PB's since my last fill, which I feel is my sweet spot now. I can almost predict when I will PB. If it's raining (barimetric pressure?), if I'm eating with a big group of people who are talking, laughing, or if I am stressed.

Before I had my 1st PB, I also thought it was like vomiting. Now I liken it to hacking up a hairball. Just kind of shoots out, then I feel better. Someone posted a while back about keeping a cup in her cupholder of her car. I try to do that now. I've only had 1 PB in the car and had to pull over in a parking lot. It was embarassing because I had one of my employees in the car with me (I had taken her to lunch). She knows about my surgery and wasn't freaked out about it or anything.:tongue_smilie:

Oh boy....

I feel your pain! My last fill has apparently really kicked in - things I used to eat aren't all agreeing with me!:tongue_smilie: A few days after the fill - I ate a boiled egg for breakfast and I am soooo glad I have a private office, cause I didn't know what was happening - I started walking back and forth and finally ran to the garbage can - what a relief! Wow.
