Just had my first pb episode

[theodoru 0]

I am only 4 weeks post op and had my first fill a week ago. 2 bites in and I knew I was in trouble. It is still happening as I am typing this. I am using the little pink vomit thing they gave me in the hospital. Right now it seems to be only saliva coming up, so I think that means I am still stuck. I don't think I will ever look at hotdogs in the same way again.

hotdogs are definitely not a good food this soon out. i am 4.5 months out now and can eat them, but only if they are diced up. my advice, small pieces, and chew, chew, chew. usually only takes one vomiting episode to learn.

it will get better. mine was with fried chicken several weeks ago, still can't eat it yet

Yes, I've heard from two other people who have the band that hot dogs can be very problematic. I didn't eat them prior to getting the band, so I don't have personal experience. Have you gotten your first fill yet?

Yes. I had a 3cc fill a week ago.

And it happened today again at work with some tuna salad. It was not as bad, but I ended up not having lunch. I think I am going to go back to mushies for a few days.

I don't know from personal experience but I hear that once you have an episode, you need to go back on liquids for a day or so to let you stomach calm down. Good luck
