Shape_Shifter 83 Posted September 7, 2012 Ok, it happens to most of us at one point or another. You've eaten the wrong thing too early, sudden aversion to certain foods, drinking to soon after meal, eaten 1 bite past full, etc. etc. Now you're uncomfortable, even miserable, producing slime like a Hag Fish. What have you found that helps you through this? Any remedies? Reliefs? Anything you found that helps? Please don't mention keeping a cup handy because the mere thought of that sends me gagging loosing everything else. 1 Jld2375 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susie in Lima 320 Posted September 7, 2012 Could you explain what sliming is and is it just a feeling or does it produce anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shape_Shifter 83 Posted September 7, 2012 Ok, but its gross. To me its tasteless. Alot of people say its acid but when I get acid its totally different. Personally, I produce a thick clear gel that reminds me of a jelly fish in the sand. When I start I produce quite a bit. I think its my body trying to add extra saliva to wash the offending substance out but since I'm too full or whatever it can't go down, it comes up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Losingitforgood! 50 Posted September 7, 2012 I had sliming in the hospital like CRAZY. For me it was tasteless slimy like foam. It's truly disgusting! I still get it now and again after a meal but not nearly like in the hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jennifer SoFla 85 Posted September 7, 2012 I had this really bad. Unfortunately the only thing that helped we was slowing down when I was eating. That was I realize I'm full before it's too late. If I get the feeling that I'm over full and I'm gonna produce the foam sometimes a sip or two of Water will help some of the good slide on through your stomach. However this does NOT work for me if my tummy is full of dense Protein. Since that can't "slide" through it makes it so much worse! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sassafras 136 Posted September 15, 2012 I am 4 weeks post op and have never gotten the slimies. Is that weird? Im eating a huge variety of foods but still sticking to soft stuff. If I eat too much it just feels stuck. Is slimies a step past the stuck feeling or do some people not experience it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sassypants 674 Posted September 15, 2012 I’ve foamed never slimed so it’s not odd to not have it happen. No help to OP sorry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shape_Shifter 83 Posted September 15, 2012 For me its right after stuck. i don't try to continue eating but probably hadnt chewed well enough or was too dense and body was doing what it could to get it unstuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ready4success 380 Posted September 15, 2012 Nothing has helped me. It's worse with chicken than any other Protein. I try to stop before I get to that point, but if I'm eating too fast, I don't know until it's too late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted September 15, 2012 I would say chicken is also the worst Protein on causing slimes, probably because it is so dense. I used to get slimes all the time up to about 2 weeks ago ( currently about 10 weeks post op), but not so much any more. It is not really as bad as some of the previous posters have stated. It is basically extra saliva in your mouth. I think it is not happening any more because i am finally receiving the proper signals that i am done eating, even though still only eating 2-3 oz per serving. Good luck.

LouiseC 1,031 Posted September 16, 2012 I get the slimes and the foams. it is gross and I have not found a remedy. I am certain it is when something I have eaten has triggered a reaction so the body starts producing liquid to wash it through the stomach easier. But as there is no room in the stomach it has to come up. I note the signs now, usually I start to cough, and then remove myself to the bathroom for the inevitable slime. I try tokeepitdown but sometimes it is just too much and I spit it up. Gross,, yes. But not as gross as me when I was morbidly obese. Worth every slime to be slim :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
