Esophagitis

[La_madam 20]

I just eat a small piece of thin steak and a half of a small baked potato..That was the best damn tasting food I have ever eaten

I havent eaten solids in 11 days

It feels soooo good to eat. I do not even care if I don't lose or gain this week! I'm eatin!!!

Thanks Leatha

What a great place to learn about things that can happen, or have happened and we didn't know what it was or is. This is my first message but I met you in Mexico at Dr Marteniz office when we got fills. I did not know that I should go on liquids for 24 hours after a bp episode. What else did I miss? Does bping alot cause erosion? What else can it cause?

Hopeful, (Brenda)

Thank from Me also Michelle,

In the past I would resume eating after a PB episode not anymore I actually had one last night completly my fault I ate some cheese and Salami here at work won't do that again. Anyway after the episode I let my esophagus rest and did liquids all day I can say I feel alot better today and will take it easy tonight for dinner.< /p>

Michelle, we can all learn a lot from your experience and through your example of speaking up and taking care of your band (and yourself). Thanks for posting your story.

Had a PB last night..took all my employees out for Christmas Party Dinner..had a few cocktails and then dinner came I split Prime rib with my husband, now mind you I had all ready had a few bites of appetizers ( crab cakes ) & salad everything was going down fine, Then when the main course arrived I took one bite ( small bite) of my prime rib and that was it! It got stuck I was too busy talking while I was chewing and a little buzzed from the cocktails so I know it was my fault totally, it was not the size of the bite that prime rib was the most tenderest I have ever had , I did not get the watery mouth this time but I got the white foamy stuff, no slime, strangest thing, never had the foamy stuff before...this bite was not going no where so after about 15 minutes of suffering and having that look of a deer in headlights I excused myself and went to the ladies room, not in there for 10 seconds and up came that bite, not painful or nothing..felt great after that BUT after this whole espohagitis I learned my lesson. I have been on liquids all day long! Feeling little spasms through out the day and burping alot which is something I hardly ever do since being banded other then that I feel great.
