I am about 6 weeks post-op and can eat all foods (except Breads, Pasta, etc.). I don't have any fills.

Last night at dinner I was eating some Tilapia and some well done string Beans and about 3 bites in I got some minor pain and had to stop eating. Got a lot of slimey stuff in my mouth and thought I was in trouble because I read these boards alot. I realized that I was eating the food like the old days, kind of just shoving it in without worry. Started to get red faced and sweaty and my family was getting worried. I told everyone to relax. I just stopped eating for a couple of minutes and it subsided. Nothing came up. I was able to finish my meal and felt fine afterwords.

Was this an almost "PB"?

Whatever it was, it was kind of a wake up call to focus more when I eat. Definite user error on this.

Thanks for any thoughts....

Kinda sorta. Only nothing came up. It's just a warning to slow down and chew.

I think that would be called "getting stuck" more than "PB" (which means you're burping up junk).

But I'm a n00b and don't have a band yet, so what do I know? :thumbdown:

Using message board terms:

You slimed.

You did not PB.

If the food would not have gone down on its own, it could have led to a PB - or vomit.

Slow down. Small bites. Chew lots.

I certainly got the message!!!:thumbdown:
