It happened to me today sliming then i threw up after almost 4 wks out. I was stuck first eating fish I guess I didn't chew enough or I was eating too fast I can tell you I don't want that to happen ever again.

@ljparez: yup, slimes are caused mostly by solid foods because liquids can just pass through. I never get them with liquids or even shakes. Usually i start getting the hiccups and i feel food in my throat. Then i am off to the sink to spit it out. Sometimes it leads to food coming up, but rarely. Usually it is my fault due to fast eating or a couple bites too much. It is usually over in 10-20 seconds(the amount of time to get to the bathroom and spit). Good luck.

With me it has lasted longer at times. I too believe its from too dry foods, not chewed enough, etc. Once I tried to wash it down but that's like flushing a clogged toilet. Dont recommend it

I've read all the post & when you say slimies are you actually throw'n up or does it just come up some - I'm only only 6 days out & haven't experienced this... Guess I'm not getting it - sorry ????

Sliming is not the same as throwing up. No food comes up. Sliming is basically a lot a saliva in your mouth.

My first slime was at 4 weeks. Think i was a little too comfy with my new sleeve. For me, it happens when i eat too fast, "bad habit" Sometimes, I can walk it off, but usually it means a trip to the bathroom to get it out. GROSS!

When It happens to me I have to go throw up in a hurry. I know this is gross but the 1st thing out is so much mucus that encases the bite of food that put me over my limit. It's no wonder it makes me sick because there is so much of it.

I have a retry sturdy sleeve but I have slimed a couple times. Both times involved eating really dense Protein. Once chicken, once pork. Papaya enzyme makes it go away more quickly. I carry a pill in my pocket anytime I eat out. It is not a problem if I skip that last bite.

Happened to me today for the first time! I was eating leftover (microwaved) chicken fajita strips, so they were tougher than the first go-around and was feeling uncomfortable--ate too much (though wasn't much) or too fast and my mouth started watering like I'd vomit...went to the sink and heaved and up came this big slimy blob---then some (all?) of the chicken I'd had. Gross as it sounds--I ate strips and looked like cream-of-chicken is what came back out--so seemed to be well chewed..lol. The coming back up didn't hurt really, but felt LOADS better afterwards. Now sipping some warm tea (since Water doesn't work for me yet) and hoping to comfort my sleeve a bit. Guess I'll take it easy tonight with something soft and shakes to get my Protein in.

The only other time I've vomited since being sleeved was in the hospital with the blue (acid) drink.

13 days post op and for the past two days experiencing this. Thanks for posting. I just figured that I have to eat slower and if I even have a hunch that a bite my brig it over the top I try to stop, however havent perfected it in 24 hours. So throwing up is the next best thing or walking it off.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
