So I have been at 8cc for a few weeks and every so often I have a mucus {Ewww! I know lol} build up and can't eat or drink anything thick, including Protein Shakes. Does anybody else have this problem?! I don't want to get any liquid taken out because I'm good most days. Anybody have any other suggestions? Thank You!!

It is slime and it means food is not passing through the band and your body produces it to get the food down. If it happens in the AM your band is always tighter , If orther times eat slower and chew more . If you continue after this maybe take out a little bit.

Stay safe! Maybe stick to liquids for a few days and see if that helps. Hopefully you have a supply of protien shakes. My thoughts are with you and everyone in the NE.

Will the food eventually go down? I think I might have this slime as well. :(

Thank You! The stores were crazy and I didn't want to buy Protein shakes because the senior citizens might need them more. I have a few left but I ate super small bites and was able to eat dinner. I will chop food and use the manual one if the power goes out. I'll be back on after the storm!

Sometimes it goes down but usually it will come back up, even up to 5 minutes later.

I have found that it doesn't go down for me, others say it will if you walk around and raise your arms. I just bend over and let it slide out . Good luck to all of you NE folks we in Fl. know how this feels . No power is the hardest.

Yes, Charlie wasn't fun!

I'm just up the road from you Mayasgram.

I'm going to remember "just bend over and let it slide out".

As zoos as you can, get some out. You do not want to stay like this sliming all the time and possibly cause other problems. Stay safe.

Made it through the hurricane. The sites here are devastating. Never did I think it would honestly be this bad! I never thought this would happen. My family and I are ok. Trying to help out where I can. Thanks for your thoughts! <3

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
