OMG, that HURT!



Recommended Posts

I just had my first PB ever. Holy f'in crap, that HURT! Thought I was having a heart attack for a little bit. Jesus, between the sliming and the excrucuating pain, by the time it actually came up, it was a relief! I guess I'm going on liquids for the next several days. Pizza's going on the "do not eat" list. NEVER AGAIN. And I only had a single bite, too!

That sucks, I guess that gives "Pizza delivered in 30 minutes or less" a whole new meaning!
I WISH it had been 30 minutes. More like 3 1/2 hours of pain and misery.

I hope I learn from you and never eat pizza but I bet you i will break down at some point and have to learn the hard way!!
I've had it before, but this is the first time I'd tried it since my last fill. Before, even when I had pretty good restriction, I could still eat a slice, just really slowly. But I'm apparently really tight now, so it's a no-go.

Occasionally I miss pizza, so when the craving comes around...usually around that time of the month, I will suggest to go to our local pizza cafe. Every dang time I take one bite and then have to go to the bathroom and pb. I will never learn. My husband is now my consious voice and says, "Honey, remember the last 10 times we went, you threw up and told me to never let you eat pizza again!" LOL! It's so funny cuz when it is my TOM, I don't want to hear it and we go anyway. I get so desperate for it that I tell him I will just lick his pizza and not order anything. Well, that doesn't sit to well with him, I tell him that at least I won't throw it up and he won't have to pay for me to get food. His reply is "I got something for you to lick, and its not my pizza." LOL.

Restrict2008,

Remember each person is different...what I can't tolerate you may be able to. The band is truly a trial and error process. Actually, one more thing- what you may be able to tolearate now..may get stuck after your 1st 2nd 3rd or 4th fill. : )

As much as the "stuck" feeling hurts I still LOVE the band!

Mbanja,

Hey, it sounds like your DH has a wonderful alternative for pizza cravings!!! I think I would prefer that any day, to PBing in the Pizza Hut bathroom.

Seriously, guys, when I went to bed last night, I was REALLY worried that I'd have to call a friend to work for me today so that I could make the 7 hour drive to Memphis for an unfill. I couldn't even get Water down last night without PBing and I was still spitting slime up when I went to bed. I guess it was just swelling, though, because I've been fine today. I'm taking it easy, though, and staying on liquids for a few days.

      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.
