I had my surgery back in January and have yet to quite get the hang of things. I did a little research and I think what I'm experiencing is sliming. But I do it all the time. Like I can't eat or drink anything to get stuck to begin with because I can't get anything down.

This happens a lot and sometimes for several days at a time. I am currently on my 3rd day of not being able to get down anything but a few sips of Water. I've been going through this for 7 months now and it would be wonderful if anyone had any insight into what is going on!

You are probably too tight, you need to have a very small unfill. They say even a tiny unfill makes all the difference.

I have been too tight and vomited blood from throwing up too much. I do not slime and have only done it once in a year. But a friend of mine slimes all the time when she is too tight but has never vomited in her year.

My restriction on my band is different everyday. Sometimes I can eat in the morning and sometimes I am gurgling my coffee down in the morning. You can hear it gurgle!! Somedays I can not eat at all, until evening. Keep us all posted as to what you do, but I think a small unfill will help you, just like .2.ccs or .3ccs. Nothing drastic. I would call your Dr and discuss it with him or her.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
