Well, I just had my first PB, and it was not a fun experience. I had just read a post by Jack that talked about how you get that feeling that you did something wrong after about 2 bites, and that's exactly how it was for me. Two bites, incredible pain, and then PB! There is a gal on OH that has in her signature line "A PB is like the big O-if you have to ask if you did it then you didn't." Boy, you aren't kidding!!

That saying is so funny... I do believe I've come across that before.

Sorry to hear you had a PB... can I ask what it was that you ate? Had you eaten that food before or were you trying something new since banding?

Thanks for the warning sign... I'm always worried about getting one of those, nothing close to it yet...

What is PB'd??? I get that it is when food does not work, but what does that mean. I think I am brain dead before Christmas~

It means "productive burp". Which is really just a nice way of saying barfing!

lol., that is too funny. Just think of it this way. Once you do it, it becomes easier. Shucks, I even PB sometimes brushing my teeth!

Oh boy, something to look forward to!!:biggrin1:

We have a lot in common. I am the same age and well, I'm only 4'10" (stretching tall). I was banded 11/30/07 and luckily, have not experienced the "pb"... You will reach that goal!

      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.
