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.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
