I know you gals know that throwing up is very bad for the band. Should be avoided if at all possible..but I do realize that sometimes it's the only way. To get relief.

This is soooo true! I swear I think it

should be considered part of our work outs! You are moving every muscle in your body, you are working the muscles, and I'm thinking the exercise is worth at least a value of 400 calories. The heck with running, it's COLD outside. Just slime a bit and you'll get your work out for the day.Anyone else notice that it is louder to slime and barf than it used to be just hurling the old way? Or have I not yet learned the art of quiet barfing?I do have a question. If you have to hurl the old way (from your big stomach) how does that work? That has to be louder, more painful, and even more gross. __________________________________________________

Sometimes I

will have a small sliming experience where the food is temporarily stuck and so

my mouth immediately waters and you get that feeling like you may hurl but you

don’t. When this happens, I can spit probably about 3 oz of slime in

about 30 seconds LOL. My mouth fills up pretty fast on these events. But if

something is really stuck (Which thank god has not happened a whole lot) then

sliming over the sink is the best thing. I remember one of my worst experiences

in the beginning was when I kept swallowing the saliva in my mouth because I

didn’t know what was happening. I was only making it worse as I

eventually had to PB into the toilet and all that came out was this huge “Jelly

fish” of slime that actually floated in the bowl like a huge glob of

slime. From that moment on sliming was referred to by me as throwing up a jelly

fish. By the way, I have now counted 7 times total that I have had an

actual PB. I am about 3 months away from my 2 year bandiversary.

PB'ng, or Positive Burping, is the experience of

burping up food that

is completely undigested. It's not like vomiting, it's more like the

food is just sort of hanging in your esophagus and you burp it out. Not

a pleasant experience, but not nearly as unpleasant as vomiting. My 6

year old refers to PB'ng as " yaking " , or if used in a sentence this

would be... " Hey, Dad, Mom ate the salad too fast and she's gonna yak

again " .

Sliming, which in my own experience is MUCH nastier, is when undigested

food, stuck above the pouch of your band, causes your digestive system

to create massive quantities of thick slimy saliva in an attempt to

slide the food down. This uually involves lots of interesting

movements on the part of the slimee, such as bending or wiggling to try

to help it on it's way, and with luck, to proceed to the PB stage....

I find it best to slime over the sink, as no matter how absorbent my

brand name paper towels claim to be, they cannot handle the slime

created by a bite of brocolli that hasn't been adequately chewed. I've

approached Bounty about this, but haven't had a response yet. (grin)

I also find that sliming over the kitchen sink works best for me, as it

does not require the bending in half postion that the traditiona

vomiting into the toilet pose requires. For some reason, bending

completely in half at the waist just prolonges the sliming process for

me, whereas standing mostly upright aids in moving quickly from sliming

to PB ing.

Just my personal experience

Eat slower, chew until you think your jaws ache and then chew some more,

and this decreases both the PB and sliming occurence. (Ok, I have to

admit that there is no way during a 5 minute lunch break grabbed on

duty to chew enough to avoid these instances. I am fortunate in that

all of my coworkers have become used to me dashing from the break table

in our very small nurses lounge at lunch time, and over the holidays, I

had the pleasure of hearing our head psychiatrist explainiing to one of

the magistrates, present for a commmittment hearing, that " no, 's

not sick, she just should stick to soup for lunch when she's trying to

do 3 things at once..... "

Ahhh, the support that is offered in the inpatient psychiatric

hospital
