So technically I don't really PB. I have done that maybe 3 times since my surgery 9 months ago. However, I do Productive Sneeze about 3-4 times a month. I'll be eating, maybe take a bite too big and start sneezing. I'll keep sneezing (it has lasted 10 minutes before!!) until I Productive Sneeze! I quickly learned to always have a paper napkin handy in case I start sneezing. Does this happen to anyone else???? Is this worse/better/the same as PBing??

So the food comes back through your nostrils ??!!!

If food is coming through your nostrils, I can't help you there. But if its just normal sneezing, its probably a sign to stop eating due to eating too fast, too big a piece, food too dry, not properly chewed, etc. Put your fork down, take a break, and try again later if you still feel hungry. But becareful to follow proper banding eating rules.

Everyone is different, so the warning signs are different. For some its hicups, burping, tight feeling, etc. Its important to learn your signas and listen to your body.

Hope this helps!

I should have clarified more when describing this, nothing is coming out of my nostrils!!! I would die if that happened. I sneeze it out of my mouth.

I was hoping that a ton of other people on here would be having the same experience every once in a while, but I guess I am just a weird one! :seeya:
