It is soooo odd throwing up a big slime ball! Sometimes I sneeze or get a runny nose instead or as well. I have only had the slimes about 5 times and I HATE it and avoid it at all costs. Oddly enough the flat bread from Subway has been the culprit 3 times so I don't eat that anymore. Other than that I can handle anything!

I am about 2 months out and we’ll I tried going outside the diet, huge mistake. I ate 1 gyoza and pain instantly. I felt nauseous and though it would pass. It hurt so bad I couldn’t walk, I havent threw up since the 2nd grade which is about 30yrs. And all of a sudden a huge glob of slime came up. I still felt like crap, I walked a tad and then pain hit again, I threw up more slime thinking I’d feel better NOPE. I could feel it coming again and my stomach hurt, I threw up another ball of slime and then finally the gyoza came up and instantly felt better. Definitely not worth going outside of the diet. Lesson learned, it was the worst experience EVER.

It's over production of mucus I think. It's gross. I've had it happen to me. It's the worst with cooked broccoli for me. I spit up for 20 minutes then eventually throw up a big ball of mucus. Lovely, I know but part of all of this lol

Omg [emoji50] I just experienced the slime. Is this the same as dumping. I ate too fast



No. Dumping is a different beast although personally I think slime is worse because of the chest pain. I've dumped once since my surgery in Feb 2022. I didn't puke or go to the bathroom but I wanted to throw up. It was mainly dizziness, rapid heart beat, hot flashes, and bowel discomfort. Slimies are more focused on your esophagus I feel and usually accompanied by puking.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
