Constant mini slimes?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I asked a while ago if anyone had experienced a yucky mucus at the back of the throat a few weeks out. There were suggestions of allergies or that I may have caught a cold, but I'm really not sure.

I am now almost a month out and still having the same problem. I went to the pharmacy today and had real trouble explaining how it feels...

It is NOT a cough, there is nothing on my chest

I feel like I need to clear my throat and nose all the time, but nothing ever comes out

I keep having a big thick clump of phlegm in the back of my throat which I can't bear to spit out because it feels so horrid, so I am swallowing it and then my tummy gurgles lots and I feel sick.

I am having trouble eating because I feel like my stomach is full of this slimy stuff.

Sorry for the TMI, it's so gross!

Reading some other posts it sounds a lot like the "sliming" which some people experience when eating too much or too fast. But it is there all the time.

Maybe I should go to my Doctor? The pharmacist gave me some tablets for congestion and catarrh but they don't seem to be making any difference....

Any advice would be much appreciated!

I don't know. I had some mucus too, but I have terrible allergies. You might try a little benadryl and if it goes away, chalk it up to nasal stuff.

If not, it may be the slimes they talk about with acid and indigestion from eating too much or at the wrong times? Sorry I can't help much here.

I think it's acid reflux. One of the major signs for me was that constant clearing of the throat. It sounds a lot like it. I went on Nexium and it was so much better. (This was years ago actually) I was able to go off of my Nexium but am really trying to be careful now post-sleeve to make sure I don't need it again. Good luck.

      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.
