SLIME?? Anybody??

[Sue Magoo 71]

I was having alot of issues with sliming and I figured out that it was happening if I ate too fast. So, after trying to slow myself down by paying attention didn't work, I bought a bunch of one-minute timers from unclesgames.com They only cost a couple of bucks each. So, I bought a half dozen of them and have one at work, one at my desk, one in my kitchen, one at my best friend's house, etc.

So, slow down and chew more and maybe the slimeys will go away.

Best wishes to you.

Wow! And all this time I thought it was my over active sinuses causing this! Very enlightening.

3 years out and still learning.

Thank you.

I might look into getting a unique or engraved thumb ring for my right thumb, so that when I eat MAYBE it will remind me! I'm kinda old for that kind of trendy stuff, but oh well, whatever it takes.

I'm going to check out the timers SueMagoo mentioned.

I was banded 7/10/08 and down 24 lbs. Just had my 4th (and possibly my last for awhile) fill one week ago today. Before this last fill I had no restriction. Now, I actually feel full quickly. So, last night while I was out with friends I ordered a Rueben sandwich and fries (you already know what I'm going to say - right?) We were talking, laughing and I was about to eat (only) 1/2 of my sandwich and a few fries and CLUNK! the bite got stuck in my band - I hadn't chewed my food as well combined with the talking and laughing I ran to the ladies room OMG! I had read about sliming but had no idea it would be as intensely disturbing. The human body is amazing; especially how it works to rid itself of foreign objects lodged where it's not supposed to be. I finally threw up (after running to the bathroom 4 x's) Whew...:tt2: Feel much better today - I learned a valuable lesson and won't do that again.:tongue2:
