WOOHOO!!!!! I HAD MY FIRST PB!!!!!!

HUH??????????????:) :girl_hug: :girl_hug:

While I am not excited that I actually PB'd, I am excited that I have some real restriction now. My doctor discovered that the PA that filled me the first time, made a mistake and only put in about half of the Fluid that he recorded, the rest went into my subcutaneous layer. So I was not where I needed to be (or where we thought I was) and I was getting so down about how hard I was fighting to not eat larger portions. I was beginning to question my decision to get banded.

My fill was adjusted accordingly yesterday and I am good and tight now. So yippee!!!!!!!!:clap2:

It's not supposed to be a good thing, but congrads! I remember how you felt when everybody but me was PBing. It took me a couple months but hurt like hell when it finally happened. Congrads - you are a real bandster.

Yes, the nausea goes away. Mine was best about the end of my "mushy food" period. It took awhile. But, chin up. I also lost a lot of weight because of this! I still have moments, but they are few. I was banded 12/21/05 and get my first fill on 1/30/06. Hang in there.

My genre - what does PB stand for???

Krause, a PB is a productive burp. I've heard it described many ways but prefer to think of it as something akin to a baby spitting up....

I was happy to hear someone define PB. Happens to me fairly often. socially pretty off putting. I don't seem to get early warning signs. Any feedback.

      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.
