Help! Am I PBing?

Hey guys...still struggling with this restriction...today for lunch things went ok...had 1/2 of a stuffed chicken breast with broccoli and some green beans...had the same thing for dinner and started getting the saliva thing...is this a PB?

I wonder if I should just go on liquids for the next couple of days and give my tummy a rest...it seems like everything I'm eating is bothering me...perhaps I'm eating too fast but I am chewing really well!

I've been trying to drink some hot tea before I eat...could this be the cause of it all...fluids before?

Anybody have any advice?

Hi Jennye,

Yes, I'd say the saliva thing is a PB, or "sliming" may be a more accurate term. Whatever you call it, what's happening is that something you ate is getting stuck and your body is trying to help it through (or back up). It probably is a good idea to stick with soft or mushy foods at least through the next meal.

It can be hard to manage solid foods while you're getting used to it. Are you sure you're really pulverizing foods into nothing in your mouth before swallowing? Try nibbling just a little tiny bit at a time. And, what seems to be most important for me, wait 10 or 20 seconds between each bite.

If you're still having trouble with solids no matter what you try, you may be too tight. But assuming you can get liquids and mushy foods in, you might want to try to work with this level of fill for a while, since as you lose weight it's entirely likely the restriction will ease somewhat.

Hi there

I was advised not to drink for at least 30 minutes before & after food. I would try that too. ?

Welcome to the world of the PB ! lol :think

When I get that feeling (the sliming feeling what a good way to describe it!) I have found that taking a sip of liquid will ofthen help it. Just a sip, though, not a gulp.

I've never pb'd where anything ever came up, but only had that blocked-slimy feeling.
