instantaenous PB



Recommended Posts

OK, I have plans to be the "model" bandster, so in theory I should NEVER pb, but pobody's nerfect.

Y'all are scaring me to death with these stories of carrying around "spit cups" and hurling on your new clothes!

Tell me that this is the exception and not the rule PLEASE!

I think it's the exception - I've PB'd once so far (OK I've only been banded over a month) but I knew when I swallowed that piece of chicken that it was way too big and I hadn't chewed enough. I had more than enough time to get to the bathroom and I had just started to eat so there wasn't much to come back up. I had a small bowl of chili for lunch today (yummy!) and I was fine, cause I chewed chewed chewed. It may boil down to how sensitve your stomache was before. I use to be able to eat everything, never a sign of heartburn or indigestion (of course maybe if I did I wouldn't have gained so much weight) so the band for me is a restriction, my appetite is much less as is my capacity to eat but so far nothing seems to bother me as long as I chew it to death.

I've been banded nearly 6 months and have probably pb'd 4-5 times, and always knew it was coming. Saliva starts getting abundant and thick like slime, and you have to spit it out, don't swallow it! I've never not felt it coming, and usually kind of help myself cough it up in order to get it over with. I've yet to have one come up without warning.

      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.
