Throwing up gross slim like stuff



Recommended Posts

I have been getting sick every now and then through out my journey but lately i have been getting sick more often and it is usually this really thick like spit that is so gross. I usually never throw up the food i have eaten just this slimmy stuff. Has anyone else had this happen to them.

Hey CJ...I've recently had the exact same thing happen. I'm a little over 4 months out and have had ZERO problems, then out of nowhere I started getting these episodes. I know I wasn't overeating but it's been weird. I have attributed it to my TOM and being exta tight. Who knows....guess it's just one of those random band things that is bound to happen. I would of been more concerned if it was happening more frequently, but it only happened a couple of times last week and now I'm fine. Keep me posted on your end...

I highly recommend that you contact your doctor. It sounds as if you might be too tight. Only the doctor can properly diagnose what is going on. It is important that you take good care of the band so that you can keep it a long time. There's nothing to be scared of -- they will be able to ascertain what is going on and help you with it.

Wishing you all the best!

Hi Starrgirl..

Thanks for your concern and good advice. I went to my doc yesterday. I told him about my episodes last week and he checked me under fluoro. No problems. He concurred that I was more than likely tighter due to my TOM. He suggested a slight unfill and I told him I felt like I was a-ok. He said if I have another episode an unfill wouldn't be an "option" it would be mandatory! I have felt fine since last week and am eating 3-5oz solid portions of food with no problems. All this being said, you bring up the all important point of "if you're throwing up slime like stuff"...GO GET CHECKED OUT!! Thanks again for your concern. :(

I had the slimies. I had taken a Vitamin and it got stuck. After about 2 hours I started throwing up about every 5-10 minutes. Nothing but slime. That went on for about 2 hours and I finally went to the emergency room. On the way there I got this horrible pain in my chest and belched, I actually felt the vitamin get unstuck. I went to the ER anyway and got checked by several docs just to make sure. Make sure you chew your food really, really well and try to eat slowly. I am still having trouble with that last part. Good luck!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
