Spitting up... everything.

[danelle235 79]

So, about a week ago I posted something about being able to eat lots of salad and larger portions ...but then suddenly...for the past 4-5 days, I haven't been able to eat ANYTHING without sliming, spitting up, regurgitating whatever I eat for 30 min- 1 hour afterwards! Even one bite of anything with texture feels 'stuck' and eventually comes back up.....What do I do....? go back to the fluids stage?

Addition: I was sleeved May 15 (approx 9 weeks ago??)

I think you call your doctor...that signals to me that something isn't quite right

I was sleeved a day after you. Sometimes it seems like I can eat my food without any issues, but other times it seems like one bite does me in! Not sure if its the same for you, but I realized that I wasn't always being careful about eating slowly, taking small bites, and not eating dense or dry Protein (baked chicken or other not very moist Protein doesn't work for me yet). The slimies are awful, I've had them a few times. The worst part is when I take a bite and as soon as I swallow it I just KNOW its going to give me the slimies, but I can't take it back!

Usually it only happens to me now when I'm around other people, like when I go out to lunch with co-workers. I feel so self-conscious eating so slow and so little that I get anxious and try to eat at a normal pace. Then BAM......the slimies.

A lot of the veterans have posted on here about eating slowly (sometimes painfully slowly - and I'm impatient!), and chewing very well. I know for me it was good advice, and I'm slowly learning to force myself.

I'm interested to read what others say in response; maybe you'll get some good suggestions or info..

Someone told me that it might be acid reflux...? I'm not on a PPI anymore... so maybe?? Just ate a cracker and it feels a bit like heartburn/reflux.... the doc might be the way to go... ugh...

I would call the doc. Could it be a stricture? Hope you are feeling better soon!

That sounds more serious than what I've experienced. I think the other posters are right - never hurts to call your doc!

Sounds like a stricture to me. I had one and that's how mine progressed. Get it checked out ASAP! Good luck!

That sounds awful for you to deal with- call doctor.going back to liquids to tolerate food might be good until you are checked out.

I just googled "slimming" because I had a different procedure and don't experience ths...let's just say, there's lots of different definitions of slimming which are NOT wls related tat I could have lived without every knowing!

Sliming is one thing, slimming would be the result we're looking for...
