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.

      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.
