What is this Slime?



Recommended Posts

I just had my first fill about 4 days ago. Today when i was trying to eat, I felt like I had to throw up, but all that came out was slime? Can anyone please tell me what this is?

That is your body's natural reaction to having something irritating in your stoma. It's trying to lubricate the area to get whatever it is out. Scary, but it showing that your body is working!

thanks so much for your quick response. Yes, it was kinda scary, and very gross. I just wasnt sure what it was, when the food didnt come up and it did. Is this common? Does it happen everytime something doesnt agree with your band?

In my own experience, it only happened when something on the large-ish side was stuck and didn't move readily. It did not happen every time. The first thing I learned, though, was to let it OUT rather than try to suppress the excess salivation. That way lies, well, more of the same.

This was your first taste of negative behavioral reinforcement. Did it teach you anything? :) Whatever/however you were eating just prior to that experience is something you should not try again. You may even have just taken that one bite too many. You're a real bandster!!

Slime is gross! And it just amazes me how much and how fast my body creates it in times of "distress"!! But, I see it's purpose and agree that sliming usually means we've done something wrong that we should try to avoid in the future!

It always happens to me when something gets stuck but I've had it happen on occasion just when something is hung up a little and isn't necessarily all the way stuck. At any rate, sliming should be a rare occurrance!

The same thing happened to me so I called my DR & they said this is what happens when the stomach is trying to digest, you will keep making this slime to make the food go up or through. Hope that helps.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
