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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
