I am about 4 weeks out and am having a problem with the SLIMES (we have got to get a better name, but I will admit it is perfectly descriptive). I guess as I am transitioning to more solids, I am eating too fast. It seems to hit me when I am reading or eating lunch at work. I think what happens is that I am distracted by what I am doing and not paying attention to eating slowly. I am taking little bits, but not paying attention to the speed. I do not eat too much because i am only putting a small portion on the plate.
For me it feels like you have to burp, but can't. I have on 4 occasions thrown-up. But it is not really like throwing up, it is more like burping up a ton of siliva - sounds wicked gross - really not that bad. It is nothing like real throwing up where you feel out of control. And it feels like it is coming from the bottom of your feet. For me anyway, it is just like a ... bluuuuurp - and I am done. No food is coming up at all. And as soon as I have blorped (technical medical term) I feel instantly 100% back to normal.
Weird, but sounds like it seldom lasts for more than a few months. I am not sure if it cures itself, or if blorping simply teaches us to eat slower and the cause is then eliminated.

Slime is extra thick and slimy saliva. When sliming I produce the "slime" in excessive quantities. I would need to spit every minute or so. It's super gross. On one occasion I tried to vomit in order to move past the sliming. It was the weirdest experience. I vomitted up very buoyant bubbles of slime. Weirdest thing ever!

I had my surgery almost three years now and it's been the best thing I've ever done I had no problems after my surgery and I've been running marathons and working out since.

5 months post-op! HW 244 SW 223 CW 164!!! Loving my sleeve!

4.5 months and so happy!! 91 lbs gone since September 2015. Surgery was in December
I have so much more to lose but I feel so much better.

One Year post op on Friday! Down 94 lbs. and feeling AWESOME!

I am still a work in progress, but pretty damn proud of what I have accomplished so far. 97 pounds that are forever gone. The first picture was taken July 2015. The other two were taken over the last two weekends. I am so grateful that I chose this decision for me, myself, and I. It's not just about the weight that has been lost, I have gained so much from this experience. For the first time in a really long time, I feel like the old me- but improved.

I am still debating on a goal. I would love to lose at least 40-50 more pounds. I'm just trying to live in the moment and enjoy where I am at now!
This is the first time I have uploaded a picture to the thread, if it's too big--like I am afraid it will be...I'm so sorry!
ETA: Holy ****, I was right. Hopefully I corrected it lol

Sleeved October 2015. Down to 169 pounds from 276.
