first time for everyone :-/

[*~NewBeginnings2013~* 21]

So i have been doing really well over the past week (the weeks post-op) with different textures and foods, eating small bites and not getting anything stuck.... well today Boom!!! There I was, my first bite, small, but I'm the middle of a sentence, I chewed once. ..ONCE the swallowed (old me kicked in and figured that the bite was small enough to go down). I knew instantly it was a mistake (long before it was actually stuck). So about three minutes later, pbing and sliming was the name of the game and i was nauseous as hell (excuse my French but it was hell). so after about 15-20 minutes of this pb (No actual food)/slime, it finally passed or as I'd assume as my burps became dry and i instantly felt relief. So I learned the hard way that chewing is of the up most importance. Before this, I have not had any issues, but this was my own stupidity! !! Hopefully i didn't hurt anything. I didn't dry have our vomit so I'm praying it did no harm. I guess it's a lesson most of us learn at one time or another, I'm just disappointed with myself. ..but i do realize they are some pretty big learning curves and it takes a while to reverse year s of bad habits. But this was very unsettling though.

Happens to most all of us. I still get stuck a few times a month. Learning to eat small and chew big is one of the most difficult things for new and old bandsters to do.

This might sounds stupid but what is PB and sliming? Just got banned April 26th and still learning... Glad you're ok

Productive Burp(PB) means you belch up some of the food that has accumulated in your pouch or esophogus. Slime or sliming is flem and saliva that is produced by your body to aid stuck foods to pass through and into your stomach. Stuck episodes can create a lot of slime that we spit out.
