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.

      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.
