I had a similar problem to this a couple weeks ago. Seems I was eating too fast

Your eating to much. Try 2 bites then wait 15 then 2 bites. Then thats pretty much it for 2 hours lol. Thats exactly how I do mine. I am a little less than 5 months pre op. 100lbs down so I am doing something right lol

Search VST for "sliming" and you will get hundreds of topics on this. It's common with newbie sleevers when eating too fast and/or too much, especially when reintroducing solids in the first 3 months. Your body is signaling that food is stuck in the esophagus and the salivary glands kick in to help it down. It happened to me a handful of times and I always felt better after "letting it come up over the sink." I've only had it happen a few times recently, usually eating out and not pacing myself. I find spitting the extra saliva into a glass helps.
