Please, never, ever, ever again...

I had my first fill last weekend, so I've only been on solids for two days. Tonight, I ate scrambled eggs with cheese. NOT a good idea. I experienced this pb'ing thing and, may I say, it SUCKED!! I've never felt so very sick so very quickly.

Please tell me how to NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER experience that again, and if anyone has suggestions about how to best handle it if that does ever happen again, I'd love to know them.

Death to pb'ing!!!

I guess my biggest suggestion would be to read, read, read as many posts here as you can regarding the experience. There are many posts which include problem foods, such as scrambled eggs. It helps to arm yourself with knowledge and hopefully, through other's experience you can at least avoid a few mishaps. Scrambled eggs is very misleading - often a bandsters worst nightmare due to the rubbery texture and the 'settling' in the band. Some have found that mixing cottage cheese helps to soften it up some.

Sorry you had to find out the hard way! But, yea, PBing isn't something you want to do often. Good luck!

I do pretty well as long as I avoid scrambled eggs! And also, taking baby bites, like the size of a thumbnail, and chewing forever. I chew my food till it's liquid before I swallow. This technique has been the best so far for avoiding PB's.

I had the PB & PAIN problem from my second fill on.

Eat slow and chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew.

Take small sized portions into your mouth.

I can not tell you which foods to avoid because many of us have foods that we can not tolerate that other members say that they have no problem with.

I have never had a problem with scrambled eggs and cheese.

But untoasted white bread is dangerous and a bagal is a living hell.

There are many threads at LBT in which members have discussed which foods to eat. This may turn into one.

WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT AND DIFEERENT THINGS MAKE DIFFERENT PEOPLE PB, ITS ALL TRIAL AND ERROR WITH TRYING THINGS TO SEE WHAT PERSONALLY MAKES U SICK AND WHAT DOESNT, ITS A LEARNING THING WHICH TAKES A LITTLE TIME I CAN EAT CERTAIN FOODS OTHER BANDERS CANT AND VICE VERSER. GOOD LUCK !!

Scrambled eggs cause problems for some? Wow - since being banded I can't get enough of them. I hated eggs but now I crave them. Odd.

But I do chew the heck out of them and either have them with catsup or Tomato Soup.
