Jammin & Losin

pb stands for productive burp. Sometimes if you eat to fast, don't chew well enough or if you just took one bite to many or ate something you shouldn't you might have a pb. First you get the "STUCK" feeling then you will feel like you are possibly going to throw up and a "PRODUCTIVE BURP" comes up and you will feel like your saliva is slimy. As a matter of fact I had this happen for the first time this morning. My 5 year old was eating a brownie and she wanted to share with me so I took a very small bite, chewed well, swallow and knew imediatly that it did not go down right. I got that awful stuck feeling and then I started slimming then wasn't sure if I would throw up or just do a pb.I stood over the sink and was in awful pain. Thank God I slimed for a few minutes then it felt better. I WILL NEVER EAT ANOTHER BROWNIE THE LONGEST DAY I LIVE AND BREATH!!!! IT WAS AWFUL!!!!!

Well guys I guess I'm not going to hear from Trish till she gets home tomorrow..... I sure hope shes been doing okay the last couple days... I'm just so worried about her! Trish please come home I miss you not being here and I hope you okay!!! (((((((Hugs))))))))

I haven't heard from Trish yet but if and when I do I will deffinatly give you all an update!!

You all are so welcome. I knew you all would be worried and I promised Trish I would let you know how she was. I'm sure John is being a sweetie and taking good care of her!!!!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to check in and let everyone know how I'm doing. I'm starting my 6th week post op. I went to Dr. Yesterday and I'm down 17 pounds since I got my band.That means I'm 30 pounds down since middle of January!!! Woooohooo Thats exciting!!!!!! I got a fill and I can tell it is different already. I 'm not quit sure the amount of the fill. I was so excited I forgot to ask what the cc's are. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as I'm losing weight.I can feel the liquids I drink going through the band kinda like a gurgle so I would think I'm pretty tight. I did liquids yesterday and Dr. said just to take it slow and easy today and to call if I had any problems. Okay guys I finally feel like a true blue bandster. I got my band and my first fill and I'm losing weight. This is awsome!!!! Yeah for me!!!

Vinesqueen~ You will get that fill and do great. I've been a little worried about mine. I'm being very careful what I'm eating and chew chew chewing but it still doesn't take much for me to get that stuck feeling... like a few bites and I'm stuck. I'm not able to eat much at all but everything is staying down so I guess I'm okay!!! It looks like your doing good with your weight loss even with out a fill !!! 20 pounds is great!!!

Christina I hope you will get approved soon. You know you can always come to LBT even if you haven't got your band yet I feel the love((((((HUGS ))))))!!!!! Good luck and keep me posted on what you find out!!!

Gosh a glass of wine would be soooooo goood !!!!!! LOL!!!!!

Christina have you heard anything on your Ins. Approval yet?? Are you appealing ? Good luck I hope you will join me soon!!!

Trish I just wanted to say 1 last time congratulations and I'm so proud for you. I wish you the best recovery possible and I hope you are up at feeling better soon. I will be saying a prayer for you and you will be in my thoughts!!!!! Now enough of all this mushy stuff...... GO GET THAT BAND!!!!!!!!! (((((((((HUGS)))))))))))

Thanks everyone. I feel like I got a great cheerleading team here on LBT. I did some solid food today and didn't have any problems. I took it slow and easy!!!

You little tattle tail you!!!! LOL!!!!!

Thanks for all the good advice. Maybe my dr. didn't tell me how much fill I got cause he thinks the same way as your Dr does. Like I said I could care as long as the weights coming off! Everyones restriction is so different that the fill amount won't be the same for everyone anyway! thanks for the tips I'll chew, chew, chew, and eat slowly!!

Trish I'm so sorry your feeling so bad. I will definatly keep you in my prayers and I will call you later today to check on you okay!! Big ((((((HUGS)))))))) I'm sending your way!!!! Trish You will be so glad you did this.
