Excessive PBing



Recommended Posts

I just got my second fill (now at 1.8cc) last Wednesday and it seems

that each time I eat I end up PBing a portion of it. It comes up

without any effort. I am wondering if this is normal. I am not able

to eat much of anything that is solid without feeling like it's

stuck. The only relief I get is when I PB. I've lost 6 lbs in 6

days. I am fearful that my body is getting used to PBing and expects

it after eating. Any thoughts? Am I too tight?

Michelle :help:

You are either too tight, or you are eating things that your body can't tolerate that your current fill level. Alternately, you may need to eat slower and chew more than you were before.

There is definately a learning curve with fills that increase restriction, but you should not PB after every meal (ideally, you shouldn't ever, but it's gonna happen).

So, I would say to evaluate what you are eating, how fast, etc, and if none of that seems to be the problem, you definately need some of your fill removed.

Hope you are doing better tolerating your fill or have a slight unfill already! Let us know, how you're doing?

Consult your Dr. let us know what he says, what kind of things are you trying to eat? Maybe you need to go on liquids a day or two to let your tummy swelling go down then try again on eatting? just my opinion

Well, for some reason now I can eat more and am not PBing. Does that mean I've lost some of my fill? Just when I finally thought I had a good restriction. What happens to the fills? I don't want to have to go get a fill once a month. Any thoughts?

carefull...you if you PB alot it can cause your pouch to stretch thereby losing restriction. On another note when you lose weight you lose restriciton...both has happened to me.

      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.
