Flu or first PB?



Recommended Posts

Today I had yogurt and fruit for Breakfast at 8:30. I had an instance of pain while eating the fruit, but it went away and I felt fine (no stuck feeling or anything). About 40 minutes later, I started feeling sick, mouth watering, etc. I dry heaved about 8 times before some of breakfast came up. I was ok afterwards and was able to keep down lunch. I thought maybe PB, but almost an hour later? What happened?

Hmmm.... I'd say PB. Weird one but PB.

For me, there is NO doubt if I have the flu. Headache, fever, nausea of a type I never get with blockages and pb. It hasnt hit me since I"ve been banded (touch wood), but I wouldnt mistake it. PB to me is stomach symptoms only without actually feeling what I'd call nauseous or sick.

I usually have the same breakfast every day. Cottage cheese and lite canned fruit, or yogurt and lite canned fruit. Why PB now? I am 11 weeks out. Is it common to PB so long after eating?

Have you had a fill? I had my 4th fill and now can't eat any pork, and chicken gets stuck unless it's really really tiny. I can eat small pieces of beef if it's very tender.

I did PB the other day with a piece of bread. It was whole wheat which I never had problems with. So I am off bread now completely.

I am also at a plateau which is driving me crazy. I hope to break it the next week or so.

I can eat yogurt and pudding with no problem. I do love them both.

Definitely PB. Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I threw up and dry heaved about an hour after going out to dinner. I was fine during dinner but once I got home I felt nauseous. 15 minute later up it came (but not much food, mostly liquids), followed by several dry heaves. Then it was over as soon as it started and I felt fine again.

If it was the flu you would still be feeling sick.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
