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.

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.

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.

agree 100% I have had it sneak up on me with no fills. 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

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!

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!
