my first time slimming. i ate lunch at work, came back to my desk thinking 30 min passed, WRONG, i was really thirsty the wings i had for lunch were really salty so i took my water and chugged 3 big gulps and by the 3rd gulp i felt it in my chest, it hurt so bad i had to spit the rest of the water out of my mouth because i couldnt take anymore in. that is the worse freaking feeling to have that stuck feeling in the middle of your chest and it wont go down and wont come up i had tears in my eyes and my nose was running and my mouth was watery. i am slowly learning not to take that last bit in. lesson learned

I just had my 1 month post-op dr. visit and can have regular food, but avoid bread! (-23 pounds, yaaaa!) On way home we stopped at Country Rotisserie, I ordered chicken, mashed potatoes and corn. Was excited to have dinner out -havent since August, and to eat non-pureed food again. 3 little bites of chicken, 2 bites potato with corn and done! The belching began (my new alarm clock-too much or too little food and it tells me, and anyone else in ear shot!) so my excitement was replaced with I guess disappointment. I know it takes time, but that feeling you get when the food fills the sleeve too high is plain disgusting! It's hard to breath, and the food doesn't want to move up or down.

I know exactly what you mean Holly! It's like the food is coming out of the top of your new 'stomach'. I've just learned to pace myself and eat really slow, that way I know that feeling I start to get when its about to do that.

the burping is is ridiculous and I haven't even started pureed foods yet (tomorrow, yeah).

do you think the problem is because the chicken dries out during microwaving? I'm so worried about doing any sliming/throwing up anywhere away from my home. Do have to scout out bathrooms everywhere I go?

AHHH! What did I do to myself?

slimming is no fun

I've had my chicken poached, roasted, bbq'd, boiled and I still burp! It's not the microwave or food being dry -for me it's chicken I'm starting to think. I do have to eat slower, lesson learned! I'm also bringing a little 1/4 cup tupperware with me to put my meal in so I know my limit. It's very hard to have a huge plate if food in front of you and you can only eat 4/5 bites! (I always "over did it" Whem we ate out post-op-another bad habit to brake!)

As far as the slime, still haven't had the pleasure but vomiting is not fun. Only once due to tomato (in my pureed soup)you don't have time to get to a bathroom! For me, it was like a burp was coming -but no, it wasn't just air...you get the picture! I was home, thank God! So...mo tomato yet snd I need to avoid chicken. No wonder I'm fading away!

How long does the sliming last? I are at 8pm. It's now 4am and I still have the pain and sliming symptoms. Just three up just saliva and clear stuff, so badly wanted more to come up! Anything I can do to relieve the pain?

My first was yesterday around 2 p.m. and lasted until about 10:30. I learned my lesson the hard way. Sliming is not fun at all. Ugh, still hate thinking about it. I was really miserable.

my first one lasted two whole days. OMG i was so sick i could barley eat or drink for those days. the second one lasted a good 5 mins at work. i try really hard not to let it happen again.
