Ok, it happens to most of us at one point or another. You've eaten the wrong thing too early, sudden aversion to certain foods, drinking to soon after meal, eaten 1 bite past full, etc. etc.

Now you're uncomfortable, even miserable, producing slime like a Hag Fish.

What have you found that helps you through this? Any remedies? Reliefs? Anything you found that helps?

Please don't mention keeping a cup handy because the mere thought of that sends me gagging loosing everything else.

Could you explain what sliming is and is it just a feeling or does it produce anything?

Ok, but its gross.

To me its tasteless. Alot of people say its acid but when I get acid its totally different.

Personally, I produce a thick clear gel that reminds me of a jelly fish in the sand. When I start I produce quite a bit. I think its my body trying to add extra saliva to wash the offending substance out but since I'm too full or whatever it can't go down, it comes up.

I had sliming in the hospital like CRAZY. For me it was tasteless slimy like foam. It's truly disgusting! I still get it now and again after a meal but not nearly like in the hospital.

I had this really bad. Unfortunately the only thing that helped we was slowing down when I was eating. That was I realize I'm full before it's too late.

If I get the feeling that I'm over full and I'm gonna produce the foam sometimes a sip or two of Water will help some of the good slide on through your stomach. However this does NOT work for me if my tummy is full of dense Protein. Since that can't "slide" through it makes it so much worse!

I am 4 weeks post op and have never gotten the slimies. Is that weird? Im eating a huge variety of foods but still sticking to soft stuff. If I eat too much it just feels stuck. Is slimies a step past the stuck feeling or do some people not experience it?

For me its right after stuck. i don't try to continue eating but probably hadnt chewed well enough or was too dense and body was doing what it could to get it unstuck.

Nothing has helped me. It's worse with chicken than any other Protein. I try to stop before I get to that point, but if I'm eating too fast, I don't know until it's too late.

I would say chicken is also the worst Protein on causing slimes, probably because it is so dense. I used to get slimes all the time up to about 2 weeks ago ( currently about 10 weeks post op), but not so much any more. It is not really as bad as some of the previous posters have stated. It is basically extra saliva in your mouth. I think it is not happening any more because i am finally receiving the proper signals that i am done eating, even though still only eating 2-3 oz per serving. Good luck.

I get the slimes and the foams. it is gross and I have not found a remedy. I am certain it is when something I have eaten has triggered a reaction so the body starts producing liquid to wash it through the stomach easier. But as there is no room in the stomach it has to come up.

I note the signs now, usually I start to cough, and then remove myself to the bathroom for the inevitable slime. I try tokeepitdown but sometimes it is just too much and I spit it up.

Gross,, yes. But not as gross as me when I was morbidly obese. Worth every slime to be slim :-)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
