That's what is referred to as the "slimes". I know it sounds gross and it is gross. Are you taking a PPI like prilosec?

This happens when you are not able to tolerate certain foods, and it is your body's way of eliminating the food from your stomach. Completely normal, but if you don't want this to happen, eat slower, smaller amounts, chewed very well.

And if not already, talk to your doctor about a PPI to reduce acid.

I do tak a PPI every morning but my food gets stuck in my esophagus. I called doc nd nurse told me they repaired a hernia and sometimes that happens. I cant eat, really. I eat just a bit and food gets stuck nd i have to stop. So for mothers day i had fish nd spinash and it felt good in my stomach. I took leftovers for work nd ive been trowing up all day. Its just what u said cause thats what it looks like but i really take my time eating. I dont know, im really tired of this. My surgeon is like 28 hrs away but im gonna have to take the trip.

Have you called your surgeon? If you don't mind me asking, where was it done? Do shakes and liquids go down ok?

      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.
