What is sliming?

When food gets stuck the body secretes mucus to help it go down, since its stuck already, it just makes it worse and won't stop until the blockage is gone.

It's also known a as pb (productive burping). If you want a sense of what is like, look up the hag fish on YouTube

Yes, when I get stuck, I try walking first, then I will PB if necessary. I do not go out to eat very often for this very reason, but truth be told it is my own fault when it happens. When I do go out to eat, I usually order Soup or a baked potato or a crab cake, things I know won't get stuck. This is not for the faint of heart!

I've had my band for 3 years and food still gets stuck. I'm having it adjusted again. I lost only 20 lbs. Very disappointed with the band.

Have you been going in for regular followup Dr visits and what does the Dr say?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
