So I think I may have just experienced what I have heard referred to as "the slimes."

I got sort of hot flashy and felt like I might throw up. My mouth started watering excessively- I couldn't swallow so I just kept spitting it out. It was very watery saliva.... Not thick like I expected...

Does this sound like the slimes or was I really just fighting off a wave of nausea?

Nope, you had the slimes....I still have my lapband and get it whenever I eat bread or do not chew my food enough...

That was the slimes. Ick. If you had thrown up, you might have had a bubble of slime that preceded the rest of the stuff that came up--sorry if too graphic, but trying to let people know what to expect. I was pretty surprised the first time that happened. Hopefully you won't have them again!!

Yup ... that would be a perfect description of slimes.

Well, I'm glad it happened while I was at home! PEVette- I had just had a little bit of bread... First time since surgery.. I wonder if that is what did it. I had a tickle in my throat from it and I took a sip of something to get rid of it because I didn't want it to turn into full blown choking... Well.. slimes it was!

Thanks guys for confirming for me, I know it is sort of a gross topic.

      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.
