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.

Admittedly I may be in the minority but knock on wood two years out no sliming or PB episodes.

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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
