I just threw up. Not PB’d but the full deal. My stomach rolled and my brussel sprouts and tine bits of turkey reappeared. I actually had 3 stomach rolling episodes. Now I am concerned. Normally if I have an “operator error” I PB, at which time I lean over, open my mouth and a glob of slim reappears with food particles. That is what it is like for me when I PB. This was not a like that at all, I had 3 full heaves. I apologize for being graphic here. What strikes me as odd is the full meal did not come up.

My lunch was a turkey burger patty. I had eaten ¼ of the patty. I prepared 5 brussel sprouts and had consumed 2 at most. While eating I was listening to my body, and before this episode, I had stopped eating. Put the remaining lunch I had left in a container.

I plan to have liquids the rest of the day. My stomach does not feel sore. I don’t feel the full satisfied feeling either….guess I am baffled as to why I tossed my Cookies.

TMI – since I eat lunch as my desk I tossed the cookies in a Water bottle. Because I am a gross person, I looked the contents over good. Bits! Small tiny bits I tell you! I don’t understand it?

It’s not like I was chewing away and swallowed prematurely. Anyone have this sort of episode happen to them?

On a side note, I am ill with a sinus cold or virus. Could this have anything to do with it?

A pb for me has NEVER been as simple as opening my mouth and simply regurgitating.

I always heave violently and if it has happened in public, you can bet your bottom dollar everyone else within earshot hears it too - its loud and violent exactly like vomiting.

the only difference is I'm not desperately nauseated, panicky, and vomiting entire stomach contents and acid. Its usually a small amount. But it often takes two or three heaves to eject what was bothering me.

Wow! I guess I should consider myself lucky to be able to have an easy PB then huh! Thanks for sharing. I would want to sink into the floor if i had a PB episode in front of peeps. I suppose it is yet to come. I have been able to excuse myself and make it to the restroom or outside.

I am always worried someone will notice and comment on it. It just embarases me to no end. Mine are not too bad...I cant do it into a bottle...I can into a cup...that is why I keep cups in the car with lids so I can take them to the trash with out anyone noticing it. lol But I am getting ready to stay with my parents for 2 weeks...and I am nervious about them noticing. ugg

That is EXACTLY what I experience :cursing::cursing:

I will add - when I say "in public" I do get plenty of warning and have always made it to a bathroom, lol. Its just that everyone else in there at the time can get to enjoy it too!

I had an episode of projectile vomiting and ended up with a huge hiatal hernia and I had to have hernia repair & band revision. I had PB'd before but nothing like the vomiting. I had been too tight and had been deflated a couple of times. Anyway, it wasn't pretty, and I will be more careful about all the signs that I was warned about.

Well, I got to say, I never thought I would be fascinated with a thread such as this but it was instructive, funny and informative. Heck, it took me quite a while ,being new to this site, to figure out just what the heck "pb" meant. My operator errors usually lead to a few pb's not just one, but I do believe one of the commentators is right when they talk about the absence of acid. Thanks for the informative thread.

Lol.

I must say though, I've never had the "I cant remember eating THAT" experience with a PB, like you do with vomiting (where on earth do the carrots come from?).

I understand what you mean, I had a business lunch the other day and got stuck....fun. We are going home over the holidays and this will be the first time I will see some of my family since being banded....I am a bit nervous as to how they will take my portion size and GOD I hope I don't have to excuse myself to PB. If I do, however I hope I can make it funny!

Phew, thank goodness! LOL Just kidding with you a bit. I've been fortunate to have time to make it to the bathroom too. Although when I am at home, I normally use the kitchen sick.....ewwhh I know but it's the truth.

Welcome John and glad I we can all be of service. No but seriously it's nice to hear that you didn't leave the thread thinking....OMG....Way TMI!!!!

Lol.

YOu are so funny! I love your profile piccy btw! Very nice! Hard work has paid off! Did you have work done?

At home I use my sink too. It is tall enough that I dont have to bend over...and for me that is important. Mostly for me it is just slime. So not a huge deal...and noone is arround to whitness it at my house lol One plus to living alone.

Yeah I am visiting family that has not seen me since I got the band...and my nieces...So I am not sure how I will handle it.
