Pb'd Yesterday, Bandster Vets, What Did I Do Wrong?

[2012 359]

Hi all, I looked around and could not find an answer, but I believe I Pb'd for the first time yesterday. So I ate dinner (pizza with portabella mushroom as the crust so lap band friendly). It went down fine, but not long after eating I felt pretty full in my chest like I could feel it in my chest and back, but I didn't think I was stuck. I took a few sips of cold tea to help ease the discomfort, then not long after I hiccupped, burped a little, it felt a little odd so I ran to the bathroom and liquid came up with saliva, no food. Any clue what I did wrong? It was not more than a cup of food and I did not drink a lot, so not sure what happened? Any thoughts?

And I'm down 45 as of today, woopwoop!

Was your portion size a cup or less? Did you chew every bite well? Did you eat slowly? If I don't follow these rules, I usually feel my early warning signals that I am at risk to get stuck...and so I stop eating immediately.

I believe that it would have been better not to drink any liquids, and just allow your meal to pass through your band on it's own.

You may have ate too much, to quickly or when you drank the liquid it just pushed it back up. It happens sometimes even if you do everything right. I have noticed that if I feel this way and I try and push it down with liquids it always comes back up, so I have learned to walk around and take deep breaths and try and let it pass on its own and it usually does within a few minutes most days. Hope your feeling better.

i agree w/ the other posters. i think the cold liquid probably didnt help. i've noticed every day is different for me...sometimes I get stuck easily, sometimes not at all.

I agree, I think the tea pushed your band over the edge and you PB'd it out. No biggy. You probable eat enough, maybe too much, and were full then you drank & there was no room for the liquid.

How are you now? If you are back to normal then all is good!

Sounds like portabella mushroom pizza was not the right thing for you to eat. My 1st ever PB, back 3 years ago was after eating a slice of pizza. Best wishes to you!

I agree with the prior posts; perhaps your portion was a bit too much and it sounds like the liquids put you over the edge so it came back up. I cannot drink liquid right after eating or it sends me over the top.

Thank you all, I will watch the liquids right after and next time I feel too "stuffed", I will let it pass on through. Today everything all went down just fine .
