Congratulations, Jennifer! Did your band surgeon give you written instructions of what to eat and what to expect with your band? If you do a "search" (at top of the page),you should be able to find several suggestions of food ideas. But you really need to check w/your dr. for his/her specific rules to be sure.

Please "search" for a variety of band issues so you'll have an idea what to expect. Best of luck to you!

PB means "productive burp" -- a lot like baby spitup --undigested food that gets trapped and comes back up (like vomiting). It's usually caused from eating too quickly and/or taking too big a bite. A bite should be no larger than the eraser at the end of a pencil. Pbing can also be caused from being filled too tightly (and that is usually relieved by a slight unfill.)
