So what exactly is sliming??? Is it something that just occurs??? Is it a result of eating the wrong foods??? Is it a result of food getting stuck??? Is it avoidable??? I am having surgery on Tuesday and sliming is kinda freaking me out as I have not heard of this before, but I'm reading a lot of posts where people are mentioning it.

To answer all of your question is...... YES..... it is caused by all of your questions eating to much ,eating to fast, to big a bites , a tight band. And so if you do not do these things your incidence of sliming will be reduced. However sometimes we slime for reason we don't know...

Slime is what your body produces to help food go down it is YOUR FRIEND, when you start to slime get up go to a Bathroom bend way over and let it slide out chances are the offending food will slide out with it. It is tastless and the consistency of egg whites. Because the food has not reached your stomach

If you start to slime because of a food it will not go away on it's own. It just becomes heavier until you get rid of the food. For me it is bread, rolls,cake and rice, to big a piece of meat not chewed enough.

I find that my sliming happens when I am out in a group and we are talking and I forget to follow the RULES.of chewing enough, eatiing slow waiting between bites. Or thinking I can have a little piece of dinner rolls and for me that is just not going down. Sliming is nothing to FREAK out about it happens to all of us at some time and I am surprised your Dr . or NP hasn't told you about it. I do not like to slime but it is a warning for me to STOP whatever I have done and get rid of it now because for me it will not go away on its own. That is your 101 sliming class, Good Luck and don't worry you will slime at sometime and it will be okay.

PB is productive burping. Or burping up food I believe.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
