DanaInNewOrleans 513 Posted January 5, 2013 I'm 15 days post op.....liquids and watered down oatmeal and Cream of Wheat have have been so easy for me. I was worried that it would be this easy when I started on more solid food. It's been so easy that it almost feels like I did not have anything done... So today I thought I'd try a very very soft boiled egg....I left it in too long -- it came out like a soft hard boiled egg... I think no big deal.... I take 2 or 3 small quick bites off a demitasse spoon (forgetting to go slow) and WOW... almost immediately I felt like I was having a heart attack. And I'm not exaggerating. It was painful and very scary. I just kept walking around not knowing what to do and trying to control my semi-panic feeling. Finally I heaved it up and felt relief immediately. I am no longer worried that my restriction won't be enough.....yikes....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NIKIMAC 19 Posted January 5, 2013 I know that feeling, I'm 2mths out and every time I eat meat I can really feel the restriction. Sometimes I want to avoid meat, but I know I need to Proteins. Ive found that if I walk around between bite or eat standing up its better. 1 DanaInNewOrleans reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigCraig 87 Posted January 5, 2013 Explain to me slimming? New term to me. Or do I not want to know?!?! Sliming is throwing up clear mucus, I get it almost everytime I eat just a little to much or something that doesn't agree with steve(the name of my sleeve)(yes I named it).I can really clear a restaurant when it happens 1 NIKIMAC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gingerRN 81 Posted January 5, 2013 Your body will produce excessive mucous to try to get stuck food down. But all it does is increase the pressure and you vomit slime. Alot of it. Everytime it's happened to me I've ended up with Dumping like symptoms 30 mins later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
