Yup, is it a thick saliva? It happens to me when I don't chew enough or I eat too fast.

I am constantly salivating. It isn't thick and it isn't while im eating. Im just constantly salivating :/ I keep thinking im starving and I think it has to do with the saliva out put. Im a week out today. How far are you out cuaya? and has this happen to anyone else?

I did anything like that when food disagreed with me, or I ate too much - rarely, thank goodness.

are you on any meds? When you lose weigh, go through trauma or illness, etc...yo ucan experience side effects with medications you did not experience before.

Going to hit 2 years out i less than 2 months and it still bugs me, although it's not as bad as it once was it's still there.

For me it's a thick foamy spit accompanied by tiny little "beads" of something that I can roll around in my cheeks, almost like a tiny un-popable bubble.

I'm not sure what causes it or what a cure may be.

I thought it was just me, I hate it, it keeps me nauseous and I have a constant bad taste in my mouth. Smells also bother me I hate the smell of my house, even the plug ins make me nauseous, is this normal.

Definitely not just you, I really was hoping there was some type of cure for it but maybe its just a side effect of the surgery :/

For me this lasted for around 1 1/2 to 2 months. I did not go out a lot and when I did I always carried lots of paper towels and baggies as I just could not swallow all that saliva without getting sick. I still get the slimes if I eat too fast, too rich too dry or take one bite too many. Sleeved May 17, 2012. Have lost 122 pounds total, 54 pre-op and 68 post surgery. Have dropped 5 pants sizes from a 32 to 22 and in shirts have gone from a 4 X to a 1X or 2X depending on brand. Best of all stopped bp meds, diabetes meds, cardiac meds, some asthma meds and and Cpap machine. I can walk without back pain and severe shortness of breath. I feel better than I have in many years. I had lots of complications post surgery including damage to my airway, collapsed lung, urinary tract infection, anemiia requiring 2 units of blood and a mal formed sleeve which resulted a 9 day hospital stay. The malformed sleeve left me unable to swallow even liquids in sufficient quantities to prevent chronic severe dehydration requiring weekly trips to my surgeons ofice for IV fluids. After 4 endoscopic stretches I am doing pretty well and in spite of earlier regrets and times when I can't eat more than a couple bites and occasionally vomiting my meals, I am very happy that I had this surgery. Today I went to a fair walked more than I have in many years and didn't eat anything. I feel great about that. Sorry so long winded.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
