What does sliming mean/feel like and other FAQ's

[cheryl2586 3,053]

Slimming is when you get something stuck in the stoma where the band is on your stomach. food will get stuck there and your body 's natural response seems to be to send mucus to that area for some reason. You get all this slime in your mouth or excessive mucous and you try to swallow it but it wont go down because there is an obstruction in the way so you have to spit it out. This is a real laymays explanation.

So I posted a HELP message last night.......It took about 30 minutes of non-stop dry heaving for me to feel better. I was in tremendous pain. So now I need some help trying to figure out what might have caused it so it doesn't happen again!!!!

I was banded on 3/15. So i'm in week 2 and I've been eating nothing but chicken broth. Last night I decided to try some egg drop Soup. I thought I was doing well with it, but I'm afraid that might be what caused it. Does anyone think that if I swallowed a piece of egg it would have caused that? I tried chewing them up, but I guess it's possible I didn't.

Should I not eat egg drop Soup at this stage of recovery?

Any help or suggestions would be MORE than appreciated!! Last night really scared me!! Thank you!!

Not banded yet, but I have seen people talking about how eggs get stuck. I don't understand it but apparently they can be a trouble food.< /p>

I have heard some people complain about eggs. I was banded on 3/7 and I haven't had any problems with them but everyone is different. Id say off the eggs for now. Try em again later you've healed longer. At least til you get to the mushies phase.

Are there are other terms in bandland that a noob may not understand? Like pb? Or anything?
