Fill update, gross question and BYOC

So, my fill on Wednesday seems to be working but it really is too soon to tell as I was on liquids Wed, mushy on Thurs and today was day 1 of regular food. I did get the slightest bit stuck on chicken salad so I guess the saline DID go in the band! We went out to lunch with our friends today and I ordered an appetizer size order of crabcakes and ate one of the two and felt completely satisfied! So far, so good.

I do have a somewhat gross question. When I got a little stuck on the chicken salad I threw up a little. When this happens, it really is just a bunch of slime that comes up, none of the food. In fact, I have never thrown up the food that has made me stuck. Is this normal? Its also the most gentle vomiting I have ever experienced and it immediately makes the uncomfortable full feeling go away.

On to BYOC:

1. What was your first pet?

A little tan mutt we called Pebbles. She was the most prescious little thing!

2. When did you lose your virginity? (Okay – before you throw stones and break out the holy water – first of all – this is not my question. It came from a follower and I obliged cuz I like it…so there.) Obviously don’t answer if this is too personal…..but don’t hate me for putting it out there.

I was 18.

3 & 4 – I’m combining these two cuz this answer could be long. A follower (thanks Steph) asked if I could ask what a daily meal plan looks like for each of you – out of curiosity and out of possibly learning new foods to try.

b - yogurt or cottage cheese and hardboiled or scrambled egg. Occasionally oatmeal;
l - varies, tuna, chicken or egg salad are always a good standby. Sometimew on a piece of toast but most times, not. If I am going out, it can be anything;
d - protein and veggie;
s - can be fruit or cheese. I have also been known to have a Skinny Cow or other treat on more than one occasion too :)


5. Repeat question: What blog or blog comment stayed with you or stuck with you the most this week and why?

Definitely Draz's "Hide and Seek" blog.

That is a common thing that is referred to around the LB community as "sliming". Different from a Productive burp (PB) where food comes up too.

Sounds like you've got restriction - damn it. My winning the summer meltdown might not be so easy after all. :-)

i would say that you experiences over eating not stuck. When you start to get restriction the food you eat stays in your pouch. when you run out of room you run out of room...we produce saliva that must go down with the food. I find that when i over eat I either slime (the spit on top of the food has no room) or pb-i just flat out put too much food in there and some of it has got to come back up.

When I get stuck--a piece of food is literally stuck either partway through my stoma or wont go through. If it wont go through I can usually get the offending item back out fairly easily but if it is stuck in my stoma it hurts and takes several barf sessions to get whatever it is out.

haha...I guess I should have a post called lets talk about barfing :)

10 months later for me and I've never pb'd (food coming up), only slimed. It's completely gross but it happens. Unfortunately it's only been one time where I've had immediate relief after sliming. Usually I still have that stuck feeling.
