Stupid Question

I have been banded for 5 weeks, and to the best of my knowledge it stands for productive burping. This means that if you eat to much or take too big of bites that we burp it back up. At least this is my understanding of what it means, I have only pb one time, but that was enough for me.

Ummm sounds exciting LOL!! Can't wait

Oh you don't want this to happen but once then its OMG how can I keep this from happening!!! LOL!!

Pb stands for productive burp! You get this really bad tight feeling in your chest then the next thing you know your not sure if you are going to burp or throw up!! Well then you kinda gag and you feel like your saliva gets slimy and then it comes up. Almost like a mini throw up. This usually happens when you didn't chew well enough took to big of a bite.

Bandmesoon, have you used the "Search" feature on the top bar? You can type in whatever word and it lists all the threads with that word in it from newest to oldest.

      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.
