Good, Bad, Ugly & Honest

Is the PBing really bad? Do you just learn to avoid it by chewing well and not overeating, or is it something that is just a minor annoyance. Also what about the Slimeing, is that an everyday event? Or is it something that is very unpleasant and to be avoided? To me I imagine slimeing as how your mouth starts watering right before throwing up.

Honestly, I haven't PB'ed yet. When you have the right restriction.. not too tight.. not too open, I don't think it's normal to have PB's. Mine is opened enough for me to be able to eat pork tenderloin, tuna, and chicken, but tight enough for me to lose weight. I did slime once the day after I was banded and drank too fast. My mouth just watered and it's like how you describe.. when you Water in your mouth and feel like you have to throw up, but it passed quickly. I wish we called it "watering" instead of "sliming".

I have my 1st appt. in 3 hours. I have to find a way to hide about 5 rolls of quarters somewhere on my body - I'm about 5 lbs short!!! I have to make myself laugh or I may start to cry!!!

Wear like a big sweater with two shirts under it and some heavy jeans and boots. Heavy necklace and earrings... Just something light adds almost 2 pounds... something heavy should do the trick.

I have the same problem. In order for my insurance to pay, I was told I needed to be 5 pounds heavier. It just feels so wrong to try to GAIN weight. I've never been in this position before.

DONT DO IT!!! I stuffed 3 rolls of quarters and drank 2L of Water and it worked wonders! I gained a magical 7 lbs in 20 minutes!!

I go in Thursday for my EKG and another weigh in. I'll use your suggestions. Thanks!

I know it's been a while ... but did the quarters in the bra work!?!?!

It hasn't come to pass, they won't let me weigh in again until after the 18th to check. I guess it would look suspicious if I gained 5 pounds too quickly, but I will definitely let you know how it turns out.
