Silly question, I'm pretty new...what does it mean when people refer to pbing?

PB= productive burp, like a baby spitting up

That is awesome!! I too have a large band and just now, today, have 7cc in it and hope this will get me to the green zone. Since they filled it that way during your surgery, I'm sure they checked the fit and thought it safe :)

Good luck to you!!!

I got my band dec. 19 2012 and my dr didn't put anything in.. idk if I would have been able to handle 7cc right after surgery lol. But I'm glad everything is great with you!!

Hi, kindred spirit. I was banded on 1/14 and he left 7ml in mine, too! Except I wasn't ok with it: winced with each swallow, ultimately had horrible frothing/vomiting. He met me at the ER a few days after surgery and now only have 2ml. Well, one good thing is that I definitely know what it feels like to be stuck! If it's working for you, that's all that matters.

      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.
