First Stuck/Slime/PB Episode

[deneicy 0]

Now I know why my nutritionist has BReADs on the AVOID list and said when I eat chicken to "pound the heck out of it first." It likes the fast fast places don't do that. Maybe when I eat out, I'll have....soup broth and yogurt.

on second thought, maybe I'll just suggest we have liquid lunch over in the bar, and I'll avoid the cherries, onions and olives. liquor doesn't get "caught," right? :wink2:

With experience, you do come to know when and if that first stuck thing has passed and that it is safe to eat or drink again. It can take 20 minutes. If you're not totally, unmistakeably SURE you feel fine to eat or drink the next bite, then you're not!

I love PB stories though. I've got a beauty from Sunday, SOOOOO embarrassing.

I had weetbix bits for Breakfast, little bits of wheat Cereal with dried fruit in them. Almost like those little fruit filled pillow type Cereal. I usually have them with milk and do fine on them. Anyway we were short on milk, so I ate 7 or 8 of them dry and 20 minutes later, just as we were leaving for my daughter's swmming lesson, I had a cup of coffee.

Well...........they SWELLED up in my stomach, lol. I thought I was going to freaking explode. When I eat them with milk, they're already swelled! I spent the entire swimming lesson barfing very loudly and violently in one of the only two toilets, whilst everyone queued up, little kids whining "mummy, what is that lady doing?". I heard morning sickness mentioned and I went with that, after all, give me another five years and I wont be able to convince anyone I'm young enough to be pregnant! At least for the time being, at 9 am on a Sunday morning, what I got was sympathy and not suspicious whispers of a big night's drinking!

I took my son and his girlfriend to a fancy restaurant for his birthday yesterday. I ended up getting stuck right away and having to go back and forth to the bathroom. There was really no reason that I got stuck so fast. I was eating Soup, carefully. Sometimes I think eating is just not worth it.

I was thinking about a previous post while I was noticing (gross to much information) that when I would spit the slime into the sink, it

was like a big stretchy long string. I remember someone posting about

slime and how sometimes it comes out in little bubbles, etc. Like I said,

TMI. I think when I go to restaurants for awhile, I am just going to order herbal tea.

This next two weeks should be interesting. I am going to see my dad who doesn't know I got banded and he likes to eat dinner out every day.

omg.... i can only laugh about this now--- here i am in my kitchen thinking everything is fine--eating my egg beaters and with out thinking i take a bite of toast and don't chew good enough --- so for the next 15 minutes i am standing over the sik spitting slime -- i had no idea what was happening and my two kids are looking at me like i'm an alien--i finally made it to the bathroom and threw it up---lesson learned , really fast-- thanks for sharing

I was banded 12/17/07 and got my first fill last week. Today is my first experience of this...:tongue: feeling of things not going down. It has felt like this since late morning. Every time I try and eat something its uncomfortable and I actually... spit up some foamy stuff in the sink after a couple of bites tonight... :cool2:

Makes me not want to eat... but I want to eat something.... Isn't that crazy???

Another way to move something that is stuck is to have a nice big mouthful of diet soda - the gas in it moves the stuck bit like a gyser - make sure you are near a sink when you drink the soda.:confused:

I applaud you for staying with it that long. I myself bolted from my house to the backyard and like my cat, I hacked up the slime all around the yard. *you have to understand my husband has a really warped sense of humor* and he's observing me from the patio window making sure I don't go down. The dog is staring, the cats are at the window wondering what happened to mommy.

I'm sorry you went through that, but I honestly laughed so hard I cried reading this! I, too, have a pretty warped sense of humor and just envisioned myself doing something similar! Again, I'm sorry you had to do through this!!!

As far as getting stuck, I haven't yet. I have completely eliminated bread, Pasta, rice, potatoes and other "stickable" stuff. The only thing I REFUSE to give up is my Peanut Butter. Luckily, I haven't had any problems with that, at all.

I had my first fill 3 days ago and have been slime ever since! Anyone know what the heck it is and why it happens? Starting to worry... this can't be good...

Astro, you might be too filled. Call your doc ASAP and ask what he/she thinks.

Good luck!

I got the slime episode when I was drinking a smoothie, probably drank it too fast, and boy it came out of my nose too. I always read the posts about this, because while I have eaten and gotten that pain in the chest I haven't slimed or PB'd yet from food. And all you guys remind me to be careful.

I am not sure what to do. I got my 3rd fill about 10 days ago, ever since then my heartburn as been off the chart when I try and eat. I don't think I am over filled b/c I am still able to eat more then I should ( but not doing it) so I want another fill but kind of scared. I have been on prescription acid reflux meds for about 6 yrs. now it has taken care of it until now, I had a PB on monday at work that was fun.lol I know I have to slow down and take smaller bites.

I dont generally suffer from heartburn but for the last 3 fills I had (havent had a fill now in over 9 months) I did have a bout of it for a week or two after, everytime I ate. It settled, so you may not be too filled, but if it continues I'd see your doctor.

I dont think you had an answer on what slime is...Slime is sliva. just a ton of it it is naturaly producing to help ease a "stuck" food down. But for us it kinda backs up and eventualy makes us want to puke.

If you have had it for a few days you should definitly call your doctor to see what he says. Good luck
