Who has PB'd?



Recommended Posts

I have not PB'd yet but I thought I was going to on Saturday night. I was eating a fudgsicle and I could feel it gurgling but I seemed okay so I continued and then I got the pain in my chest and realized it wasn't going down. :unsure: It took a few minutes but it went down and the pain went away.

I have only twice. The last time was on Friday night on a piece of Lebanese bread.....I knew better, but thought I would try it anyway I love it grew up on it....LOL But it got stuck bigtime and I had a bad bad PB and it hurt for awhile after. I was so upset and felt bad I went to bed after it happened. LOL

I will not be anxious for it to happen again....trust me!

Kristin, how on earth can you PB with no fills? You sure got your band on the sweet spot first thing!!

Oh dear Lord I have. Definitely not a good thing. It's all a learning process.

I have not PB'd, but I have swallowed things that have made me uncomfortable. I seem to have had good luck so far with drinking some water... SIPPING... and it seems to pass just fine. I hope I NEVER PB. I would rather be nauseous with the stomach flu for a week than throw up!

I haven't PB'd but I have had to wait for food or liquid to clear. It has been a little uncomfortable but never painful, though a couple of times, I felt a little uneasy. I'm a big chicken so I really chew my food and immediately slow down if I get that feeling (and even if I don't!) I'm a little tighter in the morning so I'm careful with the one pill that I have to swallow (it's very small.) And I have a shake for Breakfast.< /p>

I know I am the odd one out.....but yes I have restriction.......LOL I think that is why I have not felt real hunger since my band was put on. I am thrilled with that trust me. I Know how lucky I am for that as well. But oh god the band hurts when you get stuck....LOL I hate that I have PB'd twice but I know folks who do it much more often that have had lots of fills as well!!

Hugz Ladies on our great success!!

I have done it several times, mostly since my last fill. I don't think I am over filled because I don't have a problem most of the time. I just need to learn to slow down and stop when I feel it is time. I am still learning.:thumbup:

I've been stuck a couple times, mostly about a month after surgery. About day four after my third or fourth fill, I got a piece of chicken stuck, I was talking and forgot to chew well. I PB'd once, I had a blackberry stuck and after a few minutes and a tast of pineapple juice, up it came.

Yogurt I have to eat slowly or else it back up a little and I gurgle.

Lately, I've had no problem getting almost anything down! I defintely need a fill!

Well yesterday was my first pb....omgosh.....that sucked. My dh asked me to bring him lunch to the jobsite (new construction, so running Water or bathroom etc), so i stopped at Wendys and i got a jr hamburger. I had but 4 bites and here comes the pain, along with the electrician..."hi there, how are you?" fine i say, and walk outside trying to overcome the pain (outside by the pool outside) lol. anyhow, he was leaving and came to say goodbye to me, :) he left and I walked inside to say something to my husband like, oh I dont know,,,HELP! too late, here comes the massive burp, and I said uh oh....shit, up it comes. :wink2: :(

I now know what it feels like....gross. Especially when you have nothing to slime in but your hands....poor dh. (laughing now), but he gags, hands me a rag, and walks away....

So, now Wendys will only be baked potatoes.....lol

Good luck to you guys, I still need to slow down, smaller bites,,,,hope and pray to God that I remember these things in the future....:)

take care,

My first PB experience was McDonald's fries. That was a sad sad day. :) I'm at 8.5 ccs right now and going for another fill tonight. I am careful about chewing but every once in a while I miss a couple chews and then I can feel it coming. It is more painful to try to make it go down than to just hurry up and cough it up. It's really not as bad as I had imagined it would be. It's a bonus that it doesn't taste like vomit.

I just had my second fill, and I am really having to eat slower and chew much better now. HUGE difference. And, I ended up having a PB. It wasn't pleasnt, and it woke me up to being more careful. It's sort of a shameful event, but at the same time it just reminds us to pay attention to what we're doing.

I have after my first fill. I have had 3 so far on english muffin and then again on chicken. Need to chew these more or forego althogher. Well I won't forgo chicken. If it's mosit, or in Soup or has sauce on it, then no problem. Still must take small bites and chew well. The PB is very uncomfortable, but it came pretty fast. Some of it would come up, then still some pressure/pain, then I take a small sip of Water and that seems to give it the needed Fluid boost to help it come up.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
