Slime?

What is "slime" that some are referring to?

It happens when you eat too fast or your bites are too big. I didn't realize I had been doing it until this past Saturday. The consistency is thicker than saliva but thinner than mucous. I was eating and driving and hadn't eaten in like 10 hours (long story), so I didn't realize how fast I was eating.

When it happens to you. YOU will know it. it is when you eat one bit too much or a few and your mouth starts producing excess saliva to help the food pass. Your bodies natural way of getting things moving there is no stopping it some spit it out to help. I have ONCE gotten sick and I threw up just slime. NO food just clear.

Mine didn't come from my mouth. It was coming from my throat. I also threw up the slime one time (only time I got sick 3 weeks out), it had the food particles in it though. So it wasn't like normal vomit, it was just clear slime and chopped up food.

Ewww fun! Can it happen anytime or just in the weeks following surgery?

[SexySlim 107]

Anytime I think. I'm in my 5th month.

Ok, so the trick is to eat slow and not big bites?

Yep! Trust me, it's an ongoing learning process. Sometimes I still eat big/normal sized bites, but then I'm full in like 5 minutes and everyone else is still enjoying their meal and I'm sitting there twittling my tumbs So if you eat slow and tiny, then you can enjoy your meal with everybody. But I'm single so most of the time I'm eating alone so getting full in 5 minutes is fine with me when I'm by myself at home.
