I don't have any personal experience with this, but on another board I frequent one of the "full" signals a couple of bandsters get when they should stop eating is a runny nose.

Does your nose start running the same time as the sliming or does it come first? Maybe the runny nose is your body's signal to stop because you are full?

Hope this helps!

I think it is just the bodies sympathetic reaction. Same as my nose runs when I cry. Sliming, is an over production of saliva...thick saliva, the body is sending to try to help slide whatever is stuck on through. Usually tho the pouch is full, and there is nowhere for the excess saliva (slime) to go...so it gets spit out and spit out and spit out!

Anyway that is my guess!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
