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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
