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.

Thanks! That's a good thing to know!

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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
