I can help you on this one, as I just had an episode last night :w00t:

PB ing is short for "productive burp". Basically, when you eat too fast or take too big a bite or your band just doesn't like what you just ate, you will get a reaction that feels like the food is stuck. Pain in your chest area, sometimes a lot of discomfort, followed by a time of trying to get the food to either go down or come back up. It can be very uncomfortable and you have to deal with it. I ate a piece of meat that I obviously did not chew very well and the reaction was immediate. I walked around a bit, chewed on some papaya enzyme pills and waited some more. Felt like I wanted to bring it back up but couldn't. Finally, after about 20 minutes, it went down. It is not the same as vomiting, because there are no gastric juices to speak of, just a lot of saliva. Which is where the sliming part comes in. Your body will immediately produce saliva in an effort to help things along. I kept having to spit because I couldn't swallow very well. Now, all this sounds nasty and it is in a way, but it will teach you a lesson on Portion Control and proper chewing habits. Today, I am back on soft foods and taking my time with the chewing. I do not want another incident like last night! Just be aware that it can happen, especially if you are like me and keep forgetting that I have a band in and cannot eat like I used to.:scared2:

I HAVE HAD BOTH OF THOSE AND IT IS NOT FUN..:w00t: I ALSO NEED TO LEARN TO EAT SLOWER AND CHEW BETTER, IT IS AN AWEFUL FEELING. SOMETIMES I CAN MAKE MYSELF VOMIT BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST DOS NOT WORK, I WILL BURP AND FEEL BETTER AT TIMES. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HICCUPS. THEY HAVE RECENTLY STARTED, FOR NO REASON I WILL HICCUP, ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES THEN IT STOPS, BUT THIS IS SOMETIME HAPPENING 4 OR 5 TIMES A DAY. I HAVE NOT HAD A FILL IN A FEW MONTHS AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM EATING SO I DONT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. IF ANY ONE KNOWS THE AWNSER, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU, ITS REALLY ANNOYING. :scared2:

THANKS AND GOD BLESS

I had my first episode of both yesterday. It was so painful!!!! I know that I was chewing well and the bite was small. The only thing I can figure out is either my body doesn't like a grilled pork chop or the chop was a little too dry (which it was ). Since we were eating with friends, I went to the bathroom thinking I could bring it up by bending over or holding arms up. Nothing worked. I took a sip of Water and OMG, that made it worse. I thought I was dying. Finally, it came back up and I got immediate relief. I hope I never go through another episode in my life!!!

I had the same thing to happen to me. I was eating fish and it became stuck. It wouldn't go down or come back up. It was so severe that my husband tried the hymulich maneuver and that still didn't work. I was having severe chest pains and severe hiccups. I tried taking little sips of Water and that was a bigger disaster. I did throw-up, but thru my nose. I tried sips of pineapple juice and that didn't work. After all of this time it finally moved and went down. I was in the bathroom for 1 hour and 15 minutes. I think this happen because the fish was dry.

OMG Lingra that is awful. I have found that this happens to me when I am VERY hungry and get in a hurry. I now prepare a Protein Drink just before I leave work which helps me slow down when I finally sit down to dinner and it seems to be helping. chicken seems to be my worse enemy lately and I love chicken. Dumb cluckers.

      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!!
