Sliming usually happens when something gets stuck or a fill is to tight. You swallow but it can't get through your stomach, makes a u-turn and you throw up. It is slimy. And pretty gross.

Thank you for explaining that. So this is different than being stuck? There are so many expression I have had to learn, like LMAO

Okay, is it, this is gross, but I need to know - sick - is it mucus or regular vomit or exploding or what?

Vomiting is bad, so sliming is bad.

Somehow I thought sliming was different.............. yuck

When it happened to me it was mostly mucus and saliva. This happenes because there is no where for these fluids to go. If your band is to tight nothing can get through. The same if something gets stuck, which is what happened to me. I was the victim of a stubborn Vitamin and puked for 2 hours. You will know when you are to tight or if something is stuck just by the way your saliva or anything else feels when it tries goes down.

I am not sure about anyone else, but it wasn't projectile for me. I know, TMI, but different things happen to different people. You will also find that the same things happen to different people. We share symptoms. That is one of the many great things about this site. You will hear lots of advice from everyone and get terrific support as well. Good luck!

Thanks for explaining. I know omg - too gross, but these are the things you need to know. I take two VERY large medications and I am starting to think about what I will need to do. I heard some take children's chewable, is that an option?

Some take childrens Vitamins, I take Centrum chewables, orange flavored. There is also a liquid form of Centrum, tastes gross though. They were talking about the Gummy childrens vitamins as well. Talk to your PCP about liquid forms of meds you need to take. Mine prescribed a liquid pepcid when I told him I couldn't swallow pills.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
