Can anyone give a good definition of "slime"?



Recommended Posts

Ive been banded for 1 mo. now, and have thrown up perfectly innocent things,such as 1/2 of a pork chop. Ive kept down more complex things like gyros & smoked beef sticks. there doesnt seem to be any real logic as to what I can eat. When people on the blog talk about being "slimed" (throwing up) no one mentions what slime is (stomach mucus?) what causes it and how to avoid it, if possible. Ill be getting my 1st fill Thursday and wonder if the slime will get worse.:w00t:

Siren , First of all I was banded on Aug 1, 2008 and I just got off soft and mushy food... I am just starting solid foods. I can have moist chicken no breasts unless it is in a sauce.. By the 24th of next month the doctor wants me on all solid foods.. He said the last things I would try would be meat.. Now he wants me on soft meats and chew well. Sea food is good.. So it might be that you are not quite ready for some things... Today I had my first PB. Not fun at all. It started with slime... Slime is a really heavy saliva. Your body produces it to pass the food stuck... This is a really scary thing and very painful. My problem was I did not pay attention to what I was doing and didn't chew my chicken well enough.. Take your time and chew chew chew.....

Slime is like a "spit snake". It's thicker than regular spit and you could practically pull it out of your throat. Ewwwwwwwww. It's like egg white coming out of your throat. I guess this is the "super spit" that your body produces to help get something through that is stuck or when you irritate your pouch.

Good luck. Hopefully you'll never have a visit from the "spit snake"!

Siren, I have been lurking around this board since just before my banding on September 11. Tonight I was looking for someone with a similar experience to mine. Looks like you are it!

I have been throwing up pretty much daily. :tt2: Some foods that I think will be easy to eat come right back up and sometimes I am surprised by what I can keep down. In the end, I figured it was how I was eating and not what.

I guess I'll have to eat smaller bites and not go for the food with quite so much gusto. Lots of reprogramming to do.

      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.
