Kim2BSlim Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Last night I had one bite..yes one bite, of a Subway sandwich. Ya'll know I can't eat bread, but I have moments of insanity when I think I want to try. Pre-Band I lived on carbs and cheese. I am not much of a meat eater. Anyway, how can you eat one bite and PB for like 30 mins? It takes forever to get it all up. I cannot stand that stuck feeling and I have to get it up or I feel like I am gonna die. Do ya'll get that same feeling?
C1BandedBabe Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Kim don't tell me that.... :lb12: I LOVE and LIVE off of Subway.... I am not kidding when I say this either... I eat subway at least once a day EVERYDAY...... Especially now since I am not cooking.... I pick up subway on my way home every day for dinner... Waaaaaaaaaaaaa ( No more subway for me after this week!
yoyodieter Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Kim, did you have the problem with bread before your first fill? or only after. Thanks Linda
Kim2BSlim Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Posted June 23, 2008 Since I started solids, I haven't been able to eat bread.
Dontondan Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Welcome to the club! I can't eat bread anymore. I sometimes will have a bite of something, but even then it isn't guaranteed to stay down. I usually get the sandwich and eat all the innards out of it and leave the bread. Pretty funny huh? Sometimes I can do crackers or toasted bread if I pick at it a little bit at a time and rest between bits. You eventually get used to it. French Fries are just like bread, can't tolerate those at all. Good thing though! LOL, think it's a blessing in disguise.
Kittycat Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 No fast food burgers, fries and now no Subway...you poor lucky girl!!! Sorry to hear you were sick...I guess it's back to fish and veggies hon! Take care, Cathy
karenlynn79 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Kim, I've also had that happen to me with bread, salad and pizza (my favorite things!!). Now I don't even try. I would KILL for a salad with big croutons and carrots etc.. but it's just not worth it.... When I get really stuck I do make myself throw it up to get unstuck. Otherwise it'll hurt for half a day. Luckily I know what will make this happen OR if I am just not paying attention and I take a big bite of something.....It's a learning process and I kind of think we never stop learning.... Karen
DonnaK2231 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 I'm, sorry that's so painful!!! where you in public?? I can eat bread only if I take tiny, tiny bites.. I ate Chili the other night - 2 bites, and slimed and threw up for 3 hours... But I have been under alot of stress and heard that tightens you band??
shrty835 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Hey Kim, I love Subway also, maybe you can still have it but in the wrap. Much healthier than the bread.
paulafox Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Kim~ I have not had any trouble eating bread but I have trouble with tuna fish ( the kind you can get in the pouch) I guess it is to dry. But when you eat it and you PB does anything come up. When ever I have had that "stuck" feeling nothing never comes up it, my mouth just waters like crazy And I love love love tuna fish but oh my gosh the pain is not worth it to me.
Kim2BSlim Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Posted June 23, 2008 Yes, I PB until everything comes up. I have t because I can't handle that stuck feeling.
Dontondan Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Kim, Try to go back to soups for a day or two to give your stomach a rest. This sometimes works for me. I have to carry baggies everywhere in case I get the urge to PB.....I never know what will trigger it, but I do think that stress is the factor in my episodes, either that or eating too fast. Some bad habits are really hard to break and I struggle with eating slow and chewing well, this gets me into trouble when I am really hungry and have to wait to eat something. It will be a lifelong battle though and I am prepared to fight it! One day I can eat something fine, the next day I can't keep it down. I guess I have a fickle band!
DiamondJim Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 Yes, I PB until everything comes up. I have t because I can't handle that stuck feeling. I am, so not looking forward to that!!!!
Kittycat Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Me either...I am compiling my list of foods to avoid..bread, salad, tuna, steak, etc....the list is growing. I am starting to get scared of solid food....I am not on solids until July 11th and I think I will start with something easy and smooth. Does everyone PB? Cathy :-?
lisalisapsl Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Ok Call me and Idiot in your head while reading this,, but what does PB stand for? What is it exactly? Lisa?
BrooklynIrish59 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Hey Kim...heads up on the wraps from Subway. I thought they would be the answer to my bread craving, I was wrong. They are worse than bread. While the wraps are delicious, they are gummy and have more of a tendency to get stuck. Like an idiot I keep going back for more pain. This weekend I stopped at a Sonic with my neice and got a grilled chicken wrap. Instead of unwrapping it and just eating the chicken I bit into the whole thing and nearly lost my lunch in front of my neice. I panicked at first, but just stopped eating entirely until the feeling passed. I've had only 1 episode of PBing. I was in a rush, stopping home for something and took a piece of BBQ rib out of the crock pot. I totally forgot about the band and shoveled the food in. I thought I was having a heart attack the pain in my chest was so awful. It took about 20 LONG minutes to feel any relief. I have had food get stuck 1 or 2 times since my fill.
Kittycat Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Ok Call me and Idiot in your head while reading this,, but what does PB stand for? What is it exactly? Lisa? PB stands for Productive Burp. When you body rejects the food you have eaten, you will slime and bring it back up...not something you or I want to do! Cathy

lisalisapsl Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Sounds Lovely.. I am NOT looking forward to that.. AT ALL...Thanks for the answer. Anything else you would like to clue me in on? I leave in a week... I am very excited.
Allcdngirl Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 Kim... I have the exact, exact, same thing happen to me when I eat tuna.. get's stuck, hurts, mouth waters, etc... OMG... I've given up on it too... ) : I have not had anything come up, just the "stuck" pain, and watering of the mouth. I don't think everyone pb's, but I'm sure at one point or anything we all will at least once.

Musiclover Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 I find I have to have flaked tuna now not the solid kind, that helps but I can't have bread either so I never what to put it on. Sometimes I can have wraps but sometimes not. Last time I went to Subway I had them put my sweet onion teriyaki chicken on a salad, it was $2 extra I think but it was great! Hubby is trying to eat healthy too so he is keen for the Subway and so am I now I know about the salads.
