Sometimes I get this when I eat a little toooooo much. I try to eat a little less.

It could be either..... I got the slimes about 6 times total post op. last time was 5 months out. I think it goes away for the most part for most people.

I get it when I don't chew thoroughly enough.

Hi! This would happen to me if I ate to quickly or didn't chew enough. I also found that I feel like if I ate anything fried (ie chicken strips) I would get the slimes as well.

I've only tried 2 things fried and they both made me ill. I can tolerate alot at 6 weeks but not that. It's a good thing though . I felt nauseous, and just heavy and sick.

Yeah- that was me too and then add the sliming. G.R.O.S.S. Needless to say it has kept me from chicken strips and WingStop. but it IS a good thing. Lol

I only get this if I eat a little to much, drink to fat/or soon after eating, or don't chew good enough. So there could be your problem your body is producing it to push everything through your digestive track faster.

OMG thank you for posting this. I think I ate too fast this morning and the same thing happened to me. It was disgusting. I only ate half an egg so I don't think it was too much but I bet it was too fast. I'm only 3 week post op and still learning how to slow down.

It happened to me tonight. I got a little carried away on the mashed potatoes, and the 5th bite did me in. That was my third meal off of the same medium side item. I just kept swallowing and eventually, it went away. I think I'll stay away from the mashed potatoes for a little while.

It just happened to me. I was eating plain tuna and I think I ate too big of a chunk and I ate too fast.

I'm 7 weeks out and I've found that you really have to chew VERY well, wait about 5 minutes between bites and don't drink too soon before or after eating. The waiting @ least 5 min between bites gives your tummy a chance to signal whether it's ready for more or don't you dare take another bite!!! You have to concentrate on the meal, so you'll be aware of the signals your body is sending you. I, haven't slimed, thank God, yet and pray I never do. That would send me into a meltdown, lol!!! OMG, just gross. I love this forum, because I was a couple of days post op when I found it and joined. That was where I first heard of sliming. So, when I moved to pureed and even during the liquid phase I was very cautious.

THat sounds awful. Is it something that you swallow or do you have to spit into a napkin or do you have to go to the bathroom?
