First 'near PB experience'



Recommended Posts

Hi all **gross alert**

Last night we had spag bol for dinner. I have been having touble slowing down while I eat for over a week as most of my meals have been getting stuck. The stuckness lasts for about 5 minutes then it's over.

Last night I clearly ate too much and probably too quickly to as I had a 'near PB experience'. I leant over the toilet for over an hour in pain trying to hack up the food. But I think my body resists vomiting as I haven't vomited in over 20 years (I have had three kids in that time and never vomited - go figure). I willed my body to vomit it up but it just wouldn't come. I had a few dry retches but no food in them. Of course I could have filled many cups with the amount of saliva I had! Gross I know.

Anyway the stuckness/fullness eventually passed after an hour and all was good again. But during that hour, it was very painfull, but I would have been better if I could have PB'd. I will be very careful from now on!

I think I have restriction, but I don't have the feeling of fullness after this third fill yet I had it after my second fill. Today I am letting the band rest and having fluids for the day. I think it needs it!

That does not sound fun at all. I think I'm glad I didn't get that last fill though fighting the hunger beast is a pain. Hope you get used to it soon.

PS - I'm like you ... never throw up. I've only thrown up once in over 14 years and that was because of a surgery.

Last night must have been the night for PBs. I ate too much at a pot luck dinner. It seemed to go down fine but in about 15 minutes I was headed to the ladies room to throw up. I threw up a little but not all of my meal, that stayed stuck for about two and a half hours and then it came up. Yuck! I'm going to have to learn to be way more careful. It hurt, a bunch!

I haven't thrown up yet, but I have gotten stuck a few times which sends me into sliming modes for about 1-2 minutes, but it doesn't happen a lot. I never want to get so tight that I PB. Although, last night I ate so much Soup that I was very uncomfortable for a pretty long period of time and "sloshy" feeling. But it passed. I really hate getting stuck. It really is a bad feeling. I'm suppose to get a fill next friday and I think I'm going to cancel it because I honestly have good restriction right now and dont' think I'll need it.

      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.
