First PB

[NeenBand 7]

Hey all,

I had my second fill last week. I have restriction for the first time and still getting use to it. Before it was as if I had'nt a band...now it's a whole different story!!

I was hungry this morning and ate too fast. I had my first PB. AT first I felt a hrrible pressure and could feel the food trying to move into the stomach. It came in waves and I would burp, find a second of relief until it tried again. Finally, up it came.

Now, what is the protocol after a PB? Anything I need to do?

Thank you.

Go onto liquids for 24 hours, and then try slowly with soft foods, to see if it is better. You don't want to set up a cycle of irritating the stomach and causing swelling, which will lead to another PB...thus the cycle. Several on here swear by Aloe Vera juice to sooth and heal the stomach.

I hope you feel better soon. My 2nd fill got me good restriction too---I have not had to have another since July!!! Hope you are as lucky!

Thank you! Figures it would have to happen around Thanksgiving.... I do have plenty of aloe juice here, I'll drink it.

p.s. I already ate a somewhat solid dinner, I hope that doesn't mess things up too much?

So sorry to hear but now it's behind you. Isn't it neat how when we, excuse if too gross but when we throw up it is not bad like it was prebanding. I mean it's bad anytime but I guess what I mean is it's better, lol. Hope your feeling better soon and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Your right, it's defo a different kind of vomiting. "Sick vomiting" is the worst. I really hate it.
