I had always read on the forums about sliming and really did not know what it really was.....until today. Had a really bad stuck episode and yep, I had slime.

My question is: "Why" do we slime? Before this surgery I had never had that slime feeling in my mouth, even when I was about to get sick. So why now after surgery?

The reason for the slime is that your body is producing excess saliva to try to help the stuck item slide down. The reason this didn't happen when you were sick previously is because there was nothing stuck that your body needed to move. You were sick probably because of a stomach bug or something you ate or drank disagreed with you. You were being sick from your stomach now you are bringing it back up from the band, it hasn't reached your stomach yet,technically you are not really vomiting it up.

this is right. I have a story to tell as well... this just goes to show that you can never be complacent about how you eat when out somewhere. Yesterday, saturday, i was in the city with my youngest daughter at a christian convention. About 70 people, at least i would say. My daughter was asked at the last moment to organize the kitchen for the day, as all food and drinks were provided. I helped out in the kitchen when i wasnt in the main room with the convention. Well.... we had an incident with an oven that was playing up... slightly overcooked some savoury food. I tried to save as much as possible.. there was a choice piece i thought i would eat instead of it going in the bin. Guess what happened?? you guessed it... lol.. i got stuck. BOY !!! ( i didnt chew enough....) did I what!! then, for the next four hours i was a miserable wreck. in and out of the ladies loo like you wouldnt believe. Sliming constantly.. couldnt bring up anything more than that. I felt so awful. I couldnt eat any tea either about 6 hours later)... not even Soup. i hardly drank all day . Over night it all settled down completely and this morning i had soup for brekky.... so thats me... i should have known. NEVER EAT FOOD ON THE RUN... ESPECIALLY WHEN DISTRACTED... AS I WAS !! lol. judych

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
