Slimies- What Does It Feel Like?



Recommended Posts

I've seen it described as excess saliva. Die anyone ever feel like they have (please excuse me cause this is disgusting) a ball of mucus in their throat? I'm actually recovering from a cold, so it could be a symptom of my illness and nothing to do with the surgery.

I'm 5 weeks out, btw.

WARNING this is graphic!! it feels like there is something caught in your throat for up to an hour. It happened to me about half a dozen times. It has not happened for a year luckily. It happened to me when I had beef Jerky, beef roast and chicken-- didn't chew well enough. Your body produces this mucous- clear and dense. Its your body's effort to lubricate the food down (or up)- but your tiny tummy can't take it and you'll up chuck a few giant mucous balls. lol ( reminds me of a small jelly fish)

I feel the exact opposite. I have constant dry mouth which I'm assuming is from being in constant ketosis. I hate that pasty mouth feeling though.

It's exactly how Sleeve of Steel describes it! It's so gross and the worst feeling ever. You so want more than just the mucous to come up but it doesn't!

Thanks for the descriptions! Sounds like what's going on with me. Blah! Yeah, it's a pretty gross feeling. Can't swallow it and it doesn't go back down for awhile. Oh well. I will try to be more careful with what and how quickly I eat.

Thanks again!!!
