JUST THROWING THIS OUT THERE FOR THE NEW PEOPLE. I AM 11 MOS OUT TODAY AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE SLIMES ABOUT 3 TIMES. FROM EATING SOMETHING TOO TOUGH OR DRY OR EATING A BITE TOO MUCH, ANYWAY I DID IT TODAY WHICH WOULD BE THE THIRD TIME. I WAS EATING OUT WITH FRIENDS AND TALKING AND ATE TOO MUCH NOT THINKING. ANYWAY I POPPED A PC OF GUM, THAT MADE ME SWALLOW SALIVA WHICH GAVE ME THE HORRIBLE FULL FEELING IN MY CHEST AND MADE ME SLIME. SO AS SOON AS I COULD GET AWAY I STARTED SPITTING THE EXTRA SALIVA OUT. I KNOW THIS IS GROSS BUT IF THIS HAPPENS IT SURE CAN BRING YOU RELIEF FASTER...THE MORE OF THAT SALIVA YOU SWALLOW THE WORSE YOUR PAIN AND MISERY IS GOING TO BE. JUST WISH SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME THIS CUZ I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!!!

"Slimes" is a watery mucous that comes up your throat and into your mouth. It normally happens when you eat. It can be pretty heavy at times and may require patients to walk around with spit cups. I required one. It eventually goes away though.

Ohhhhh. So that's what that is. I just had my surgery on the 17ty and noticed that I salivate a lot more than normal. I didn't even realize it could be connected with my surgery. Thanks for that clarification

I haven't either, but I'm guessing it's salivating uncontrollably

I never heard of SLIMES before, what is this

I had horrible slimes as soon as I got home from surgery and for months afterwards. I had to carry a cup with me everywhere I went, especially if I was going to eat. Yes, you have to spit it out. If you swallow it then it only causes pain and makes it worse.
The good news is that with time it will go away. I've been slime-free for about 2 months now.
