What does PB stand for?



Recommended Posts

I have seen people state that they have PB'd. Is this where something gets stuck?

I have recently had a very unpleasant feeling when I forgot to chew properly and had a feeling of something being stuck for a minute or so, very painful. Thank God it passed fairly quickly.

PB is a productive burp. As it produces the food you just ate.

It's not the same as being stuck- stuck is that icky feeling of a golf ball.

Being stuck can lead to a productive burp.When I'm stuck, I get PB a few times before getting relief.

Its like when a baby spits up, can't control it, it comes up whether you want it to or not.

If you get stuck in a restaurant, be prepared to run to the restroom or have a few napkins.

ps. I carry plastic grocery bags in my car, when I'm forced to eat and drive.

I try very hard not to get into the situation of driving and eating. Not pretty, lol

I have a few of those blue puke bag things from the hospital just in case. One at home, one in the car and one in my purse. :-)

One time I had to sprint to the restroom at a restaurant and Lo and Behold, a line....I literally slammed into the men's room and spit up. Soooo not fun.

I have had only 1 episode in the last 6+ months and I'm happy to leave it that! I was at home, but after a stressful day and the security tech asking me asinine questions while I was eating I swallowed a piece of pork and boy oh boy it was NOT pretty, but after hearing me get sick in the bathroom he didn't have any more dumb questions!! :P

      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.
