No I am not talking about morning sickness people!  I had the most embarrassing PB to date.

I was at the shops and I ate some of my lunch to quickly and it got stuck.  I waited and thought oh its not that bad so I ate a little more.  Then it got worse of course so I thought I try a sip of hubby’s solo, that didn’t work.  So I had a few sips of water which of course didn’t work.

I felt some panic rising as I ran for the bathrooms – when I got in there there was a whole bunch of girls so I thought it was a long cue and I was in full panic mode so I grabbed a papertowel and faced the other way and up everything came right onto the floor (mainly all the liquid that had pooled on top of the stuck food).

Thankfully not too many people noticed but I was mortified. LOL I am laughing about it now but far out – the life of a lapbander.  Admittely I don’t PB that often luckily so it was a bit of shock yesterday.

 

PB number 2 13/06/2009

Well yesterday at dinner I got a mild discomfort and thought uh oh here we go again – but it went away so I took another couple of mouthfuls of food – what a mistake, up it came with no real warning right at the dinner table.

At least that one didn’t hurt but I can only imagine if I was at a restaurant or something with other people……..how embarrassing!

Not much to report today – still trying to get things done at the house but things keep getting in the way of unpacking those last few boxes.

 

First PB 08/06/2009

Well today was my first PB (Productive Burp) although I don’t think that quite cuts it as a description……..

There are not enough words to describe the uncomfortabl feeling when food gets stuck – the culprit grilled fish………..I would have thought that this was quite an unlikely thing to get stuck.  The burning began and I went to the bathroom and up came the mouthful I had before I realised anything was stuck – I tried a tiny bit of water to soothe the burning but it was painful, I then brought up some more food but I don’t think the bit that was stuck came back up.  I tried a bit more water and it must have passed through.

Thankfully it wasn’t a long episode but WOW – it is one thing to read it on other peoples blogs but you really don’t know what they are talking about until it happens.

What an interesting experience – one I hope to avoid in the future  :-)
