can PBing be a sign of being too full?



Recommended Posts

This may be a silly question but i thought I had the concept of PBing down until lastnight. Can one PB as a indicator of being too full? In the past, I have PB due to eating something too fast and not chewing well resulting in large piece of food being built up, or from eating something mushy that is hard to break down like stuffing or soft bread. Last night, I went out to dinner with some friends and had a stuffed chicken breast (had spinach and cheese inside). It wasn't too big. I felt full but it was so good that I wanted to get that last bite in because wasn't enough to take home. I should have left it on the plate because I had to head to the bathroom and up it came.

Can be that you ate too much...Or ate too quick...Or are too tight...Or didn't chew well enough.

PB can be a sign of LOTS of things. If my PBs could talk, here are some of the things they would tell me:

  • I'm too tight (when I had been PBing for about 9 hours)
  • You tried to swallow too much at once
  • You tried to swallow without chewing well enough
  • Your period will be starting within the next 4 days
  • You just got off a plane
  • It's before 6pm
  • You tried to drink too soon after eating
  • I'm just feeling bitchy today, and I'm taking it out on you
  • I really didn't like that today, try again tomorrow, I might like it then
  • I just wanted to make sure you still knew who's boss
  • You should have stopped 1 bite ago

PB = Productive Burb. a nice term for vomiting.:sick But it's not a normal vomit, there's no projectile to it.....more like just slime coming up and sliding out on its own...thick mucus stuff that sometimes will have bits of the offending food in it and give you some relief.

Any better descriptions? That's just my experience talking. And it's not always going to happen right away.....sometimes it's an hour or so after eating when the food tries to move from the pouch to the lower stomach......it gets stuck in the stoma (the little channel that connects the two).

So true. Mine also lets me know that I'm still fertile. Even when I had no fill, I could PB during that time of the month. :mad:

Definitely. Only twice since banding have I done this, pressed on with something becuase it was sooooo good and really eaten too much!

And I was a bees dick away from Pbing both times. If I had have moved, taken a deep breath or bent over I would have lost the lot. It was only force of will that kept it down (was in public).

Its a horrid feeling, bad enough for me to not do it again. But yeah, its like its sitting in your throat, backed all the way up.

Oh - and my PB's are projectile, exactly like a normal vomit and they come out my nose too. Erk.

One bite can do it. When your band says stop, you have to listen.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
