Burst Blood vessels when pb'd



Recommended Posts

I pb'd for the first time yesterday on rice and ended up with lots of tiny red dots around my eyes which I assume are burst blood vessels. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yep. I even burst a blood vessel in my eye once, when I had a coughing fit so severe it made me vomit. Yuck.

Yes! About every 3rd PB, I seem to burst a ton of blood vessels all over my face. I look sunburned. powder covers it up and it's gone in a day but it can freak you out when it first happens!

A nurse friend of mine said it's called petechia, and she calls it "petiki eye" when it happens around the eyes. It's from straining when you vomit, and it's not dangerous. It will go away in a couple of days. It can be a bit painful, and you can use a cool damp washcloth to soothe it.

Uh, one more here! Happens to me quite a bit too. I always assumed it's because I'm so fair skinned. Doesn't hurt though, just looks a little weird.

just (I mean moments ago) had my first PB. Took my Ambien (can you say "nite nite?) but remembered I had to get my son's lunch ready for tomorrow. In my Ambien stupor, I popped a piece of chicken Milanese in my mouth. BOOM. Chest pain, golf ball, intenese desire to burp.....but not just any burp! I will NOT be doing that again. The slime was flowing. Icky. Let's hope this Palov's Dog learns her lesson.

Bummer....I've had no such occurances yet...still on clear & full. Just got the okay for mushies. Bizarre random act of instinct, I guess.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
