Sliming is when you eat too fast or too much and suddenly you get like this thick mucus crap crawl up like as if your having sinus problems. . it causes you to spit and spit and spit. . .not fun. . the other thing is your mouth fills up with Water (syliva) and causes you spit and spit and spit . . . if you don't have this bless your lucky stars. . .not fun.

$15,500 over here in San Antonio texas but that included beautiful care for 3 days in a private hospital with a huge room that had a place for your guest etc. . . took out a loan at 3% so that is not too bad either. . .yippee almost paid off!

nice and slow is excellent . . . plus you won't be so quick to hate your routine! good for you! I got these tennis shoes you know with the rocker thing at the bottom what do they call them "shapeups" well lets put it this way . . . can you say PULLED BACK . . . yup it happened to me so be careful if you get those shoes, it may not happen to you though. . . good luck!

I didn't start "adding" stuff to my Protein shakes until i was about 3 months out. . . but that was just me, not the doctor. . next time you go for your checkup ask, or call the office, they should better be able to advise you of that cause they are, after all, the experts. . . good luck

I, like you, used milk for my protein shakes all the time from day one. . . only difference I used Mootopia instead (high protein low carb milk) it surely didn't hurt me either. . . but i guess like some folks state here, some people get lactose intolerant, but those are the ones to stay away, if it's working for you great. . . like i said, didn't hurt me and i lost 53lbs in the first 7 weeks and a total of 145lb thusfar. . . not too shabby if you ask me. . . good luck!

I agree, it's none of his damn business and you could just tell him "whatever you want to believe dad you go for it, but i'm just losing weight for me and that's it" and leave it at that. . .he doesn't need to know ESPECIALLY since he didn't care to raise you and SUDDENLY he cares? PLEASE. . . (sorry that was mean but true) no you don't owe the fool any explaination whatsoever.

you'll be fine, this is only temporary and this to shall pass. . . i'm out now a little more then 1 year and had all those feelings you have. . remember the tummy is swollen and will be swollen for a bit. . . just concentrate on getting down the fluids (water is good) you don't have to shove down stuff you don't like. . . you won't die from starvation I promise. . just relax and take one day at a time. . . i major hated my sleeve in the beginning for about 3 months until i got the hang of it. . . it's tough, it's not easy to have to relearn everything. . . so just chill and relax, you'll be just fine. . . good luck

me neither, i wasn't cathed. . .maybe this is something you should discuss with your surgeon like now and on the day of surgery. . .good luck!

Gosh, all these years we felt guilty, we hated ourselves and now we have this incredible tool to help and when we try to be a bit "normal" hell we feel guilty again. . . you ate only 1 piece! 1 thin crusted pepperoni slice and you feel stuffed to the gills to boot. . . doesn't that feel "normal". . . now then you hate the feeling, what feeling, the stuffed sliming i just ate too fast feeling? that goes away. . . don't feel so bad about the pizza slice, I've eaten all sorts of stuff and don't feel one ounce of guilt. . I'm losing weight and am happy and feel great. . . honey, you need to live your life as a human being and not some sort of odd character killing yourself with quilt. . . sorry if i sound harsh, i don't mean to but that is how i am. .

wow your experience sounds great. . glad to hear all went so well. now you're on your way to success and happiness!

Hi, I have been at a stall which lasted 3 1/2 months! Not weeks, it was soooo frustrating, so i just put the scale away knowing very well that it would eventually move and sure enough it did. . . so just hang in there, it's bound to move sooner or later . .

woohoo! Good for you! after all these years your finally getting your sleeve! i'm so happy for you, every one deserves a chance and now its your turn! You go Girl!!!!

hey there! nope i don't think mine has stretched much either. . i get full at about 6 oz of food and really full at about 8 oz. . a lean cusine fills me up just fine with a tinsy bit of discomfort . . . in the beginning of course tummy was swollen and such but i've always done pretty well at 6 oz. . .i'm a little more then 1 year out now and feel great. . .

Me too, anything to help!

Hi Lane, I don't think anyone would trash talk you. . that would not be very nice. . however, try the 5 day pouch test. . . you can google it and it will give it to you. . .it's a bit tough, but will help you get over the carb monster thing, will help you "tighten" you tummy a bit and the best part, you'll lose a few pounds too. . .then after the 5 day pouch test you can google the web for bariatric surgery post op diet and they help there too. . . hopefully this will help you. . . you've done well considering! 100 lbs is not an easy task no matter what! You'll get back on track and do well. . . you can do it! It's only 60 more lbs! You can do it!!!!

I'm a good old believer in Dannon light plain yogurt! Love it and always have. . i can add my own stuff if i want like pumkin spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, extracts, etc. . . or just eat it plain. .

Congratulations! Your doing fabulous! Keep up the great work!!!

are you mentally ready for this surgery? the statement "I just can't imagine not being able to eat with my family and friends" makes me wonder if your life revolves solely around food and if your willing to make this sacrifice or not? You won't have to shun your family and friends or sit in the corner to eat you know. . you'll just have more conversation time and family time available rather then who can eat more food time. . . Have you done enough research? Sorry if i sound harsh but it's a reality. . .good luck

Congrats and don't you just love being sleeved? a bit of a pain to have to relearn everything, but isn't it great??? Keep up the great work!

ha, i had that happen last night too. . .felt like i was starving (ya right!) so ate 3 tablespoons of spaghetti and meat sauce way too fast and get this one! without chewing properly (after 1 year you would think bad habits have changed ! hahahaha) and wow it was like here comes the discomfort, sliming, spitting episodes, and walking around til that feeling went away. . . then your tummy swells and you are not hungry anymore and don't want nothing to eat again. . . what i do is just leave it be and carry on the next day and do better. . . good luck!

go to myfitnesspal and type in the fruit your wanting and it'll tell you the values. Thanks

find 1 scale only that is reliable like at the gym or at your doctor and use that one only. . .throw away that scale of yours, doesn't seem to be reliable at all. . . and most important, don't become a slave of the scale! Good luck

Sorry to hear that. . depression is a horrible thing. . . have you thought about self pay, after all a small loan to save your life??? well just a thought, and like mini me says we'll pray for you. . . good luck

Wow that sounds good! I'm heading to Walmart to pick up this stuff and will make some! Thanks!

I have this thing that once i hit goal (20 more lbs or so) I'm not going to stop there. . it's going to be a personal challenge on my part to see if i can lose about 20 or 30 more. . . is that a disorder or what? Cause if i do loose that 20 or 30 lbs, what will i do then? Loose another say, 10 or so ?
