constant salivation (not sliming)

hmarko · November 12, 2009

Hi all: Ok i'm having a new experience.

Monday I got a little stuck started salivating for the first time (it went down on its own was some dry salmon) on my 2 mile walk home.

Tuesday - had a bad stuck episode two hours and partly due to my own stubborness of continuing to try to eat (ie I was hungry but my band wasn't).

So today wednesday back to the salivation, not sliming... but its been going on all day. Just excess salivation just enough to notice that its not entirely normal. I'm on full liquids because I'm thinking i'm too tight??? But i wasn't tight until now (btw I did get a small restriction, only my 2nd, this past friday but I had not problems until really on Tuesday. Liquids are going down but I can tell I have more restriction today than i have since this fill.

Can anyone share if they have had this saliva thing and why it happened? Is it irritated esophagus, swelling from the PB thus I'm too tight (so 2 days liquids, 2 days mushies i'm thinking).

Thanks!

That's a sign of being ever so mildy too tight in my experience.

Its the one thing I noticed - not sliming, not pbing, just markedly reduced food intake (which i thought was good) but after a few weeks i noticed I was clearing my throat rather a lot. This made me notice how much saliva I had.

I had a teeny 0.1 ml removed and it fixed the problem.

Thanks Jacqui - just had the fill on Friday so it usually loosens up.. (I'm still a newbie). if i can't keep food down I'll go to doc by Monday.

sounds like you may need to chew more. I wonder if a tiny piece is getting stuck causing the excess saliva.

In general yes I need to chew more I'm still figuring this thing out :biggrin: But today I have been only on liquids and it has been happening. Do you think it could be that there is a tiny piece stuck from yesterday? Its actually getting better now after a full day of liquids (the salivating).... so I'm just wondering if I just got tight from the PB episode yesterday or if there is in fact a tiny amt stuck since yesterday... any ideas on how to tell the difference? I've been doing the papaya plus other enzymes tablets too>

Its better today... I did two days of Protein this evening started mushies (including lemon sole flaked) no probs. A little extra saliva right now but haven't had this all day.
