Tears in my eyes from laughing after that one. Wait, do you guys want me to post my avatar as a pic of me PBing? Should I laugh or worry?

One of my friends gave me a plastic moose for Christmas that pooped jelly Beans. When she saw it, she said it reminded her of me. Hmmm, how do I digest that?

Thanks guys!

Fortunately, I've only pbed a few times. It was usually when I was standing up and scarfing something down in the middle of the night. I think it was trying to tell me, "DON"T DO THAT, DUMMY!"

Uh, Marie... didn't you read the directions on the band when you opened the package?

Rule Number 1: No scarfing, ever.

Rule Number 2. No eating in the middle of the night.

Need I go on? xo

I'm doing much better about the middle of the night scarfing! Some old habits just die hard! But the pbing might just break me of that habit for good!

Lisa, my band directions didn't say anything specifically about scarfing. That must just be with the "Mexican" bands. You got that little piece of knowledge as opposed to aftercare.

I got my band out of box of Cracker Jack, and it specifically said NO SCARFING.

That was a joke, because my band and I are good friends. I didn't get any instructions that said "no scarfing" but I'm pretty much thinking that's the same as "chew chew chew and eat very slow."

Ok Its official...

I just had my first PB on a damn triscuit cracker. I don't get it. I have been eating trisquits and cheese every day this week for lunch and not one problem, today I ate a trisquit without chess and that did it. It felt like it was stuck and wanted to go down it was almost like having contractions in my throat. It would hurt for 5 -10 seconds then go away 30 seconds later it would hurt for 5-10 seconds , this went on for about 10 minutes, then the slime and the watering of the mouth. Once the piece came up my mouth started watering uncontrollably and my heart was pounding. It was actually quite scary. I'm still here recuperating from all that trauma. My band had been so fickle lately..two days ago I could of eaten a horse (but didn't) and since then I have been having so much tightness in my chest and where my band is placed with some strange discomfort not reflux or heartburn just tightness.( i know it's called restriction right?) So now I'm going to go on liquids for 2 days per my doctors instructions on a PB episode. I do not want this to happen again and I know if you PB you need to rest your tummy and esphogus right? When you go on liquids is it just Clear Liquids or anything that can go through a straw? Any input wouldbe appreciated. I feel so silly asking questions I really know the answers too but need some input since this is my first official PB Thanks :)

I think this is a congratulation.?? Don't let it happen again. Ya right.

I like what Shelly Wrote...If I could find it to quote...something like=I don't eat certain things cause I'm afraid of a BP.

My first major BP was garlic noodles with lots of parmesan. Coughed up a perfect golf ball. I don't do Pasta or bread much. Yes, it hurts.

Michelle, now we're both official. But now that we've experienced it, no need to to that again, right?

But did I tell you I named one of my Cockateils Triscuit? Daisy-Sunshine, Carlo, Triscuit, and one really mean one still waiting for the perfect name.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
