Has anyone ever had a PBing incident at a resturant?



Recommended Posts

My worst public PB was a very violent episode that hit me really fast. DH & I were in Dallas at a conference, and afterward, we were having dinner in the hotel restaurant. I ordered some kind of chicken. We were talking with some new aquaintences, and I was, I thought, taking my time and chewing well, but I guess I wasn't, because all of a sudden, I was stuck as hell, and the pressure was building like a volcano. There was no restroom in the restaurant, so I had to literally RUN through the restaurant, and across the hotel lobby to the nearest bathroom, and when I vomited, it was so violent that my eyes were all bloodshot, and it looked like I'd been crying. It was AWFUL. At least there was no one else in the bathroom, and I was able to put myself back together a bit before returning to the table.

I've posted this before so I'll be brief. I've PB shoulder to shoulder with a stranger on a crowded flight. That was nice.

Months ago I had one bad PB in a chinese restaurant in chinatown, followed by 2 more sliming incidents (one on the street!!!!) and one in the garbage can at starbucks - there was a line for the bathroom. It is the worst! BUT to answer your question I have pbed at a restaurant many times but I always have notice, recognize the signs and can get to the bathroom in time.

Been there done that but thank goodness I always made it to the restroom!

I have come up with a theory on sliming! When we first eat, since our pouches are so far up our body produces alot of saliva because it thinks it needs to to digest and get down what we are eating. It's so thick and there is so much of it it doesn't want to let the food though. The food sits on top of it and won't let it go down. I get it all up and I can eat fine from then on out. Don't know what everyone else's experience with it is but that's my thinking.

Happy Friday!!!:)

Up until a few days ago I was feeling all smug about being able to eat breads, while most have said they couldn't. Well... lo and behold.. a trip to Black Eyed Pea sure fixed THAT. They usually bring rolls and cornbread before the meal and I was munching away on a roll. About the 3rd bite, and that burning pain hit in my chest. I barely made it to the bathroom! Ouch! No more bread for me!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
