_Becca 0 Posted July 22, 2007 When did you start PBing? Does it start after your 1st fill? Are there certain foods that trigger it. Just want to be prepared when I go in for my 1st fill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted July 22, 2007 I've had to start being VERY careful after my 6th fill, 18 months out. So much so that I'm going back for a slight unfill. Its giving me the sh*ts, I havent been able to eat dinner at all the last few nights, lunch is touchy, the only decent meal I've been getting in is Breakfast and then I nibble on stuff that goes down easily all day. Even though I havent PB'd, I figure I dont need this hassle when I'm already at a healthy weight, there's just no need for it. I had hoped to drop a little more but I can see I'm just going to start relying on chocolate or Cookies rather than healthy food, so I think I'd say I'm tighter than I really need to be at this stage. I managed the whole weight loss journey without more than two PB's though, it took about 4 fills before I was anything like properly restricted but I'd still lost most of my weight by that point.

Alexandra 55 Posted July 22, 2007 A PB can happen at any stage, and even take us by surprise when we think we're not at all restricted. Eating too fast or taking too big a bite can cause it, so take it slowly no matter what stage of the adjustment process you're in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you have no real restriction yet you tend to forget and next thing you know you have a huge fork full in your mouth and bam ! PB HELL !:phanvan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surby 1 Posted July 22, 2007 My surgery was 11 months ago, I've had 5 fills, and I have only PB'ed one time. I scarfed down some trail mix kinda early in the morning, and back up it came. I made it to the bathroom that was filled with HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS! It was quite funny, but it didn't feel too good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giveyouthemoon 4 Posted July 23, 2007 Becca, Alex is right a PB can happen any time. However, if you haven't yet PB'd, and are about to get your first fill, now is the time to be careful. Chew *slowly*. You might be a bit inflamed after the fill making you even a bit over tight early on. Just follow all the same rules you already know and it will all work out!
