8+ week post and vomiting slime almost daily

[rhansen7 1]

Does anyone out there vomit slime often post surgery? When I vomit, its not food, its more like slime or snot. Very frustrating, and it happens pretty often. I take 30mg Pepcid (disolvable) in the AM and I wonder if that's the culprit, but if I don't take it I have heartburn issues.

You should be calling your doc right away. Maybe its bile or maybe even an infection. No one on my sleeve page has mentioned vomiting like this and you don't want to end up in the hospital. Call the doc!

Contact your doctor.

Are you weighing or measuring all your food and not going over the recommended serving sizes at your current stage?

That happened to me the first time I ate beef after the surgery. It had been 2.5 weeks and I know the texture of the meat was too dry. It was an awful feeling and it hasn't happened since then. I understood it as my stomach telling me it wasn't ready for the food I was eating at the time..

English is my 6th language so forgive me if my sentences don't make any sense at times!

I am 7 weeks postop and I have really bad acid reflux at night. I've noticed this especially happens after I eat chicken salad or egg salad or tuna salad or spicy fish (fished baked with red pepper). I drink liquid yogurt upon awakening in the morning to get rid of that feeling. I guess it's the Mayonnaise that could be the culprit but what are my other Protein options that taste decent?

Did you have the sleeve or RNY? Because I have a history with acid reflux, the sleeve was not a recommend option for me, not that I wanted it. I was told that heartburn and acid reflux can get worse with the sleeve and there are problems with erosion of the esophagus.

[sondra2368 26]

I had the sleeve done. Acid reflux wasn't a serious problem before. I basically had it under control but now it's out of control. How do I avoid aria ion of the esophagus? That sounds horrible.

It's not reflux, it's called sliming. I slimed horrible for a year and still do from time to time.

Slow down when you eat, take smaller bites and eat smaller portions. Journal what makes you slime and avoid it for a few months before trying again.

I used baby spoons and waited a full minute between bites. This helped tremendously!

I am 9 weeks out and this was happening to me plus at times I was nauseous and vomiting. My surgeon put me on Pantoprazole 50d - it is a prescription anti reflux. It has helped tremendously in the past 3 weeks. I take one a day and I am eating more of a variety of foods and doing almost no sliming, I find I still slime if I eat too fast.

I had this happen with the lapband and yes, it's called slimming, usually from eating too much, too fast, or the wrong thing. Hope this helps. dottie
