FishingNurse 1,211 Posted February 3, 2013 It's a very unpleasant expirence! It can happen post op of you don't chew we'll enough, or you sleeve doesn't like the texture, or you eat a little too much. You can feel like something is stuck in your throat, and your body tries to lubricate the stuck food out, and you form thick salavia to move the food through. Then you can throw up slimy saliva balls. It's horrid! I have slimed maybe 7 times total. Once you know your sleeve its easier to avoid. Seems to happen in the fist six months primarily. I slimed last weekend-- and it was the first time in at least a year! (Dry chicken!) I'm 19 months out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fyre_storm 1,412 Posted February 3, 2013 Sliming is when slimmer a green snot ghost flies through you and leaves slime behind. Also it is when you decide it's ok to show up on a nickelodeon tv show where they push a menacing button and ruins your whole day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted February 3, 2013 It is a mouth full of saliva when you eat too much or too fast. There is also the worst stuck food pain that occurs for the same reason. It is worst when you start on solids and figure out how to eat sleeve-right. For me, months 2-4 was a lot of sliming because I always ate too fast. After 5 months, my sleeve healed enough that even eating too fast did not cause sliming. Thank goodness. However, I developed and intuitive sense to when I felt satisfied versus full. Try and satisfy your hunger and not make it a goal to eat to being full. It will take time for you to learn this skill. However, once you do develop the skill, it will take you a long ways towards a lifetime of healthy eating with others and when you are alone. You will have a peaceful relationship with eating food and be able to enjoy the intricate details of tastes and smells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry fyre, I was so sure it was connected to nickelodeon, thanks for confirming my suspicions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
