okay... I am totally weird?



Recommended Posts

Okay, so I have been banded since March (time flies when you’re losing weight!) and have had minimal trouble with my band. I don’t know what I would do without it!

So I have gotten better with the lifestyle changes, but not so good at judging when my last two bites should be. I know a lot of these threads talk about PBing and throwing up. But what happens to me seems to be neither of those.

I will stop eating and 15 minutes later I will have this “different spit” in my mouth (sorry I so lamely explain it). Then I will spit up like 2 bites. It isn’t violent or even unpleasant- and I don’t feel sore after. Does this happen to other people? Is this PBing? It happened like 4x a week, so I am starting to think I am too tight…. But I can still eat my recommended portions. I am also kicking my butt, because I should have learned by now to stop eating 2 bites earlier!!

I just need to know that other people have these quiet and almost easy episodes where smaller amounts of food comes up… is this what people mean when they say they throw up? When I think of throwing up, I think of stomach flu/food poisoning sick…. Am I being stupid?

Also am I being stupidier bc I might lose my band if I continue this?

And the big question... am i totally weird if i dont mind these little throwups?

( i think i know the answer as soon as i typed it... but tell me what you think)

Some call it pbing...but that's not the correct word as there is no burp involved.

I do what you do almost everyday. I call it sliming. After I eat, it just simply comes back up. Sometimes not everything I just ate...but like the last few bites. The slime just lets it slide right on out.

It's not vomiting...just overfilling? Like a gas tank?

Could very well be PBs. The "different spit" sounds like you're sliming - the thick saliva in excessive quantities. :) If food is coming up, chances are you're PBing. PBs hurt me before, but not after. As soon as I yak up whatever's stuck, I feel fine (tho sometimes if it has been a particularly hard PB I will feel exhausted).

PBs hurt most people, but I have spoken with people whom they didn't hurt. Ok, technically not the actual PB, but the inner workings before the PB happens.

My PBs aren't violent, they're just like wretches. They're not like when you have a stomach virus and vomit uncontrollably at all. Except for the pain, they're pretty much like baby spitups.

In my early days I barfed so much due to problems and complications that I actually learned how to barf pain free.

I was working on learning to do it sound free as well but it stopped before I mastered the art of sound free barfs.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
