Recommended Posts

Hi!

Ohh myy goddd! I think i did a PD!!???

ok so at night i had some milk and Cookies (i know, i'm going to stop that soon) - after a while it would not go down my pipe and after 5 mins it came out - but not acidy like vomit - it was more like with alot of see through slime or mucus!

Does this mean the band is tooo tight!!!!!?????

also, i dont seem to be loosing weight at all - i am not on a major strict diet, and i do have 'bad' food once in a while - should that not be allowed? r all of you guys eating very healthy food stuff??

Thanks!!

That was a PB from the sounds of it. It doesn't mean the band is too tight, it just means that you had trouble with the milk and Cookies. It could have been too many cookies, It would have been all sorts of things.

It's actually called a PB ("productive burp"), and yup - you had one! :)

It doesn't necessarily mean that your band is too tight. More likely, you were eating too quickly and not chewing your food thoroughly. Also, unless you were taking very small sips of the milk I'll bet that contributed to the problem.

I try to choose healthy foods most of the time, but I've also done my fair share of indulging. I do consistently follow the "Protein first, then veggies, then carbs" rule at meals. When I do this there usually isn't much room for the junk.

Just curious why this is?? Is milk a nono?

I don't think it's milk specifically, any Fluid will do... I just find that if I take a big drink during a meal it creates an unbearable pressure in the pouch. I think any fluid pushes the food towards the stoma fast. That's going to do one of two things - cause a PB or push the food through which kinda defeats the purpose of the band.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
