Looking for info: PB vs Sliming vs reflux vs vomiting



Recommended Posts

I think I may be in the green zone( or close to it,) however, I have occasional where I chew and swallow good and it sits in my chest. My mouth starts to fill with greasy saliva and I gag and bring up the chewed up food. It's not a ton and its not a powerful expulsion. It's quiet and I can usually use a paper towel ( as opposed to a full-out vomit in the toilet.) I don't feel burning or heartburn.

It usually happens within the first few bites of food, and after I can eat comfortably.

Is this PB? Sliming? Vomiting? Reflux?

I'm trying to identify what is happening before I see my doctor.

Thanks folks!( sorry if this is gross! )

I have the same thing, usually when I eat bread, tortilla etc. I asked my doctor about it. He said its called sliming and not to worry. It's just we are eating too much, too fast, too big of a bite etc.. So the food gets stuck and the natural reaction is a thick saliva tries to go to the pouch to help digestion. The problem is there is no room so it usually comes up. When it happens to me it's just feels like I cant swallow until a few slimed come up, then I'm fine. I just hope this doesn't cause slippage. I have this probably once a week at least. I'm in the green zone also.

So excited to experience my first slime...lol. Just had band on 5/24... solid food doesn't soun so good anymore...

Sliming is GROSS and a bit scary. It's also a huge embarrassment. I broke out in a sweat at work the other day when I felt like it was going to happen.

It's usually my first few bites so I think I need to focus on slowing down.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
