PB ? why does it happen



Recommended Posts

My questions is what is PB'ing?

This is what happens to me and not sure why, or if its something different:

I am about two weeks out since my surgery. My questions is that, I dont have much restrciction, i do feel full but I feel I can eat as much as I did before ( if I allowed myself I could do some damage) Sometimes when i eat, especailly mushy food I find that this flem is stuck in my throat. ( sorry for the TMI) kind of like when u have a cold. well i make it come up and its white/clear and slimmy. What is this and why is it happening? am i eating too much? or too fast?

If this has happened to anyone, i would appreciate feedback.

Thank you !

It happens if you eat too fast, too much or don't chew well. Everybody swallows about a quart of saliva a day. If your pouch gets too full there's nowhere for it to go so it comes back up.

PB is productive burp. when you eat to fast, don't chew food right or eat too much it will come up as a productive burp.

      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.
