What is the difference between sliming and throwing up?

Just curious. My band seems to be at a great spot right now, but every once in a while I get stuck and then start regurgitating what I've eaten.

It's usually because I was in a hurry, or very hungry, or even just not really focusing on chewing and taking small bites.

Happened yesterday, I was working and before I knew it my stomach was grumbly and I had to leave. So I grabbed a small piece of meat (leftovers)

I ate it quickly. I spent the next 10 minutes or so just having it all come up a little bit at a time.

So would this be considered sliming? or throwing up? I wasn't heaving, but there was a lot of saliva involved.

Also when this happens, what is the best thing to do physically? (sometimes I stretch upwards or bend over touch my toes)

thank you

Sliming is more of mucus that comes out and the throwing up well we all know what that is. I battle both!!!!!

I am 4 months out and this happens to me almost every day, I don't know if I need to go back to the Dr, he is quite a ways from where we live, but I do chew things well but the slime is a big factor, Like I have a mucus plug in my chest, after it comes up I can go ahead a eat what"s up

This has happened to me twice. I learned the HARD way not to RUSH my meals. The pain in my chest was pretty bad...and the sliming thing is GROSS. But I think the pain I was feeling was even more distressing. I have learned to eat slooooowly.... and chew well.

The best way I was able to handle it was to move...keep walking, bending and stretching. I also learned NOT to do this in front of other people who do not know that I've been banded. It's hard to explain why I was going through the ordeal.

Now I think it's about learning new habits. Before the band I would just grab something, rush to eat it and run... Not anymore!!! I have to be more careful in planning.
