Experiencing My 1St "stuck" Episode



Recommended Posts

What does PBing mean??

PBing is called Productive Burp. It's when well kind of like throwing up. When I get stuck I salivate, slime and finally start PB'ing or bringing up food, the feeling of like a burp but only food comes up without trying, does this make sense? And yes sometimes it results in me finally throwing up because I'm gagging at the sight of it all. During a stuck episode some people salivate excessively, pass a slime mess or thick spit, gross I know but true. Hope this helps. Not a pretty sight but it's what happens.

Had my first episode on Sunday with a piece of toast. I couldn't breathe and thought I was having a heart attack. I just paced around the house in a panic. I was scared because it was just me and my 4 year old daughter at home. After about 2 minutes of gasping I started projectile vomiting. There was no control. It just flew out of my mouth. I will chew every bite a million times now. Also, I think things with too much bulk or density are not going to work for me. Maybe ever. Lesson learned hard.

You just have to remember to chew until you have true mush before you swallow. Take your time and wait between bites. I chew really well, but have a hard time waiting between bites. It really takes a lot of concentration.

Been there done that and NO FUN. Note for future, many people have difficulty eating bread so you may not be able to have toast.

Not the most low fat way but I can handle toast buttered and toasted on both sides in a skillet and toasted, can't do bread raw though, no can do, no no no.

Same thing happened to me!! Cinnamon toast, didn't chew enough but had never had a stuck feeling. I did like you, paced around the house, stood near the bathroom in case of vomiting, thankfully I didn't. Cereal with milk hates me too, I think it's the solid/liquid combo. Basically Breakfast time is Protein shake time, I just have to live with it.

If you are on real foods and can't eat solid food for Breakfast, you need to rethink where you are with fills. I had pot roast and carrots this morning! You will never be satisfied drinking breakfast in the long run. Talk to your NUT about the foods you are eating so you can be eating things long term.

      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.
