My first experience Sliming

[Chrisann 0]

Ok, I am in this now. I am fasting today as its Ash Wednesday, so, went and got a smoothie, the ones I was drinking during my preopt phase. I guess that I drank it too fast, because I started sneezing, and slime, and lots of it, came out of my nose and mouth. Its just hanging in there now. It really is slime. Its clear, not the color of the smoothie, but thick. I have to keep clearing my throat to get it up, like when you have a sore throat.

Sounds sexy! LOL

Gee thanks.:biggrin: That sound, and slime is always sexy. lol Especially when you are sitting in your office with a tissue over your face.....

I had a conference call to take and I had to mute it every five seconds for the clearing of my throat sound. But now, all is good. But wow, a bad 45 minutes for a smoothie. Can't imagine if I had some food doing that to me.:smile:

I've slimed once, it was before my fill. I was eating shrimp, pretty sure I shouldn't do that again. I started hiccuping really bad and stuff. I was in a restaurant with my man sitting across from me. He just told me to tell him if he needed to duck:tongue:

Well last night, had 5 oz of fish and 1 cup of steamed green Beans, ate slow and purposefully, and was still hungry. Had 2 slices of cheese and 6 crackers. Still hungry. So went to work on my computer, and wound up eating about 6oz of a 8oz package of licorice jelly Beans near my computer that my friend eats. Was still hungry, so then realized what the hell I had put in and attributed it to head hunger.

But seriously, why didn't I feel the pressure and sliming effect I had earlier in the day from a smoothie?

Now today, have had a mashed banana and 1/4c of cottage cheese, and two Decaf teas, and I am full. Go figure......

Whats this "sliming"??? I haven't read or heard anything about slime?

I had a sliming episode today too. I think!!! I was eating tuna with a bit of mayo and I must have swallowed too much too quick. Anyway, the hic-ups started and the food felt lodged in my chest (not stomach) and I went to get a small sip of Water as I felt I needed something to force it down. That made things worse. I felt like I was choking, but my lungs were clear. Then I had to run to the bathroom. I thought I was going to throw up, but instead was projectile clear slime. It was gross...And was the strangest thing ever. It was clear and heavy. Not the consistency of water and no food in it. What is it??? Sorry for the gross description, but I really can't imagine what it was coming up...Anyone know???

Sliming is when you bring up really heavy, thick saliva, and it strings out of you, makes you want to cough and blow your nose. I have been told its a precursor to PB. (Productive Burping)

It happened to me when I drank my smoothie too fast, and it happened to NukeChik when she probably ate too big a piece of shrimp.

[PeachesPJ 0]

oh boy....not looking forward to that!!!!! I use to have a growy/sist<?> on my esgothis<?> that would cause me to choke, just before my stomach. I would have to get it back upby trying to throwup. I had that fixed about 5 years ago and it has been great. Don't really want to start that again.

Is it all caused by eating too much or too fast?

[NukeChik 1]

I didn't really eat too big of a piece of shrimp, it was just overdone and really rubbery and I didn't get it chewed up enough. Shrimp is really hard to get to band consistency, I'm probably going to avoid it from now on. I still have problems avoiding "inhaling" my food!!

BTW if you feel like you have something "stuck" taking a drink of liquid is the WORST thing you can do. I know it is your first instinct, but avoid it at all costs!! Trust me on this one.

I keep thinking that I can eat steak.. and i am NOW positive that it will no longer be part of my diet again.. the pain that I feel now and I cannot even keep liquids down.. what I need to know is where does all this Mucous come from! I feel like something that you need to call Ghostbusters on! here is the good part .. i will be back on liquids for at least another 24 -48 hours , which i will no doubt be able to drop another two pounds. it is a vicious thing.

Hmm Slime.

Unlike you lucky people, the slime is at least a once a week occurrence for me. I am actually pretty used to it by now.

Yes before you ask, I know I must be doing something wrong for this to happen so often, but I have always been heavy on the saliva. Most of the time I can get to the bathroom in plenty of time, but not always.

I was ridding back from lunch in a buddies car and had a bad experience. I had PB'ed at lunch before leaving, but apparently I wasn't done.

Thank God it was a Rental and he was returning it that day.

I have unfortunately had the experience of sliming while driving, yuckkkkk. It doesn't happen much anymore now that I am a veteran bandster, it is easier to avoid.

I can eat steak but it helps if it is cooked medium and it is a really great cut, like filet mignon. I have replaced quantity with quality post banding, lol.

yeah there is nothing more exciting than pulling over on the side of the road because your happy meal did not pass through the band. this is why i do not eat in my car anymore and if i do..... i keep a cannister close by.. ok.. all of this is not sexy.. but my new body IS!!!!!

[Jachut 487]

I dont eat in the car either for that exact reason. It was bad enough the other night when the sliming continued after I left the restaurant while I was driving. Thankfully there was a coffee cup in my console from Ewan's morning milo before school.
