Productive Burp(ing). producing nothing, maybe some Slime. It is like trying to burp from deep down under a ton of food.If you cant get the PB, next ot come will be the sliming. SLow down, take your time. You will hear this over and over. I am 16 months out and still experience these if I am not careful, I have to pay attention to my eating and not Gab at the same time..

Carbgrl, I was banded on 4/21/09 and had my first PB last night also, it was awful, I ate some fish no problem, then stupid me later I wanted something crunchy so I ate about 10 Reduced Fat cheese Nips chewed them really good, and then they got stuck and before I thought about it I took a big swig of my Water and I new immediately what was going to happen and it did! :thumbup: It was awful and it was just like everyone described. I guess it was my own fault though. I had my first fill this past Monday and she put 5 cc's in my 10cc band and so I've been really tight and I should've known better but you know live and learn :biggrin:

You may have to stay away from chicken for awhile and then try again later, hope you do okay :biggrin:

I had my first sliming and PB episode yesterday with chicken breast. I guess it was to dry or I ate to much. YUCK!!!!

I think chicken breast has gotten us all at least once. I'll confess to twice.

I got my band on 3/9/09 the loss has be steady and got it up to about 43lbs. as of the last of the month; the first time I have been under 200lbs. in about 15 yrs. I now find that things are changing. Foods that I ate the week before cause me to PB or I can have something for lunch but can't keep it down at dinner.< /p>

I was banded early april and until I had my second fill a week ago, I was also "sliming" and pbing all the time. I have since learnt that if I slow down when eating and take much smaller bites I dont do it as much now, I was also suffering from vomiting after the "sliming". I think its all about "learning" your band, whats comfortable, what you can and cant eat (me for example cant eat bread and have given up trying). Ive made a list of all the things that dont agree with me or my band. I also have trouble with chicken not as much now but i do have to be careful.

You have to remember that this is a new lifestyle and all the things we used to eat before, we may have to be carefull with now.

Slow down and enjoy your food, that helps me.... good luck!!

Ally.

Can anyone explain to me why I've gotten "stuck" on lunch meat twice but I can eat beef Jerkey without any problems? Can't be that I'm too tight or the meat being too dry....just seems kind of weird?!?!

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
