Yep...Sliming and PB...it happened!

I have just been going along my merry way with no problems. Today is the first day that I ate bread since my fill. I didn't even think about it. I was in my classroom getting ready for school to start and I was about 3/4 the way through a small sandwich when I got that "stuck" feeling.

Prior to today, when I felt stuck, I could wait it out and the food would go down -- NOT THIS TIME! It started out like normal...discomfort with the urge to burp. However, this time I felt like it needed to come up. Thankfully, I made it to the sink in my room. I started sliming like crazy and then sort of "coughed-up" a tiny little piece of bread! I swear it sounded like my cat coughing up a fur-ball!

I just felt lucky that no one was around to see me sliming. They would have thought that they just walked into a showing of The Exorcist. :thumbup:

The moral of this sad tale...chew, chew, slow, slow!!

Thanks for telling your experience. I haven't had that happen yet, but I am sure the day will come. I was banded just before you on 06-17. I have not really introduced breads into my meals yet. I have pretty much decided not to do the white bread starch at this point just for weight loss reasons. I have had some success so far with just meat and veggie so I am sticking with that. It does get boring sometimes though.

Ok, I am new to all of this, I just got banded on Wednesday (8/12/09) so what does sliming and PB mean? It doesn't sound very fun that's for sure!!!:thumbup: ~Jess

PB is "productive burp". Basically, what goes down...comes up! Sliming is when foamy, slimy mucous comes up too -- GREAT FUN -- NOT!
