Wooowwww...WTH was THAT? First PB?

[steph_co 9]

This might be grossly descriptive just because I'm a little confused. I've never had anything come back up when I've had the stuck feeling or sliming - it usually all ends up just going through if I just be patient.

But anyway...sitting here at work, eating my yummy chicken. And I KNOW I'm chewing this stuff to liquid, so I don't understand how it could get stuck.

So I've read a few stories about PB'ing and I seem to remember pretty much every story saying that they did not have nausea to go along with the upchuck? I got stuck on the chicken dish and all of a sudden felt like I had the stomach flu, or something. Achy, hot flashes, dizzy, major nausea...

Got up to walk around hoping that would make whatever the problem was pass. Noooo...it made it worse. It's like my stomach knew I was moving around, so it wanted to, too. Standing straight up over the ground, I slimed quite a bit. Then I totally upchucked like a cup of PURE liquid. I know I had not eaten that much (like 3 bites up to that point) - it was mixed with slime.

LOL...now that I've grossed you out if you're still reading, my question is this - it was ALL LIQUID. I felt it, I saw it - there was nothing to get "stuck." WTHeck made me upchuck? I don't get it. As soon as that stuff came out, the nausea went away. ODD.

Anybody experience something simliar? Nausea to go with the PB, and then PBing and it being pure liquid?

I guess I'm on liquids for the next couple days. Fine with me, though - it's been pure hell trying to eat today for some reason.

Sounds gross Steph. Nothing like that has happened to me. I usually wait for it to go down either on it's own or with juice. I did have a bad experience a couple of weeks ago when something got stuck and I tried drinking juice which would not go down. It just gurgled in my throat and I thought I was going to choke to death, so I put my fingers down my throat and threw everything back up. It was my worst experience with the band so far.

Hey Steph, yes, that happened to me. The nausea happened right after surgery. Since then I don't think it's so much nausea as sweats. Lately I've gotten a burning sensation in my esophagus. I have PBd pure liquid too. I'm with you, I don't know WTH is up with that!

i had 1st fill 11-5 & a bad experience 11-7. unsure what happened - stuck? felt like pressure & horrible indigestion around location of band. hiccups, burps, & almost threw up twice in the 45 mins. it lasted. what is sliming? pb? i'm sure i didn't chew enough as i really didn't think the fill was doing anything. i ate less tha 4 oz before this happened, so it wasn't overeating. since then i've been fine, but never get a full feeling on my 4 oz meals.

Steph, this happened to me last night! I see what you mean now. My back has been hurting lately and all of a sudden my back was really hurting bad, I had a headache, was dizzy, felt really hot and nauseous. Five minutes later I puked, then immediately felt better. Then about 1/2 hour later it happened again, and then one more time for a total of 3 puking episodes, always having the flu-like symptoms beforehand. I'm telling you, I'm starting to get sick of how this band makes me feel. :thumbup:

I'm constantly washing my hands in dread of getting the stomach flu, and I'm scared to travel in case I get a bug. Seriously, if nothing bad happens to the band before then, I will be getting it out next year.

While driving a couple weeks ago, I gulped down a bunch of cold Water with a couple asprin (forgot I had a band) and GOT THE Water STUCK. My esophogus immediately treated the ball of water like an intruder and started producing slime to help work it out. Fabulous - more Fluid. After a few minutes, I had to pull the car over and hurl up the water and probably twice as much slime.

I laughed about it with my doctor later. Honestly, if you had told me as a teenager that I would one day be pulling over to puke up WATER I would have never believed it.

It's amazing how much slime your body makes as a defense mechanism to help move stuck things through the system. Sometimes, I just sit and spit into a cup when I get something stuck. When that happens I can easily spit at elast 4 oz of pure ole clear spit in 5 minutes or less.

Erg, everyone's PB's are different.

I've never pb'd liquid, only solid food, including the offending bite of whatever it was. I usually get a sharp pain at my belly button, a cold sweat and pain in the stomach - an ache - but it still doesnt feel ANYTHING like what I'd call nauseous, which is far yuckier. Its just simply a physical reaction, something needs to come up, up it comes and that's it. The only bad part of it is if it wont come immediately and i have to spend 45 minutes hanging round the bathroom spitting saliva.

I have this "PBing" what does PB stand for? Puke Burp??

[cindyg1212 0]

Close, Amy. I think PB stands for Productive Burp cause it produces the offending food back up.

Thanks, I still have the PBing and I think the term "slimming" best describes the event.
