Unpleasant experience

[rmalikone 108]

I slimed for the first time today, I wolfed down some food and the pain was bad at my sternum and I tried PB and some liquids to no avail. The slime was not to bad but the pain was. Is the pain normal when being gluttonous?

What is PB and slime? I get banded on the 5th of Aug

PB is Productive Burping

Slime is secretion from the end of the esophagus/stoma area. It was like clear but thick spit. (someone will correct me if not quite right)

No, I think you described to a tee perfectly. I've only had one slime experience since I was banded in Dec. I didn't like it at all!

This sorta happened to me at work the other day. I was eating chicken and ate too fast (very busy night) and felt this pain almost like something got stuck but it was like heartburn or indigestion i tried hacking (burping) it back up but it was just clear mucous i now no that even when its very busy at work i must take my time. It was a very uncomfortable feeling

just the bands way of saying slow down and take smaller bites..no more wolfing and you should be okay

you over fill the pouch and this can cause it to fold over the band and provent you from eating or drinking until you get the band emptyed. Follow the rules for your own and band health..if your very hungry at mel time and feel like wolfing down your meal drink a large glass of Water and wait 5-15 mintues before food this will help you eat slowly.

I'm going to try and avoid those things from happening!

I was not thinking, thats how it happened. Sometimes I can eat a little to fast without any problem.

Slow down fella and enjoy! I too have the wolf syndrome when it comes to food. Have learned to chew small bites and chew, chew chew before I swallow. Have not slimed or vomited in the 5 months since surgery, but did have a bit of a stomach upset when I ate something that was a bit too heavy. Chew, chew, chew, and it all works out well.
