Slimies- What Does It Feel Like?



Recommended Posts

I've seen it described as excess saliva. Die anyone ever feel like they have (please excuse me cause this is disgusting) a ball of mucus in their throat? I'm actually recovering from a cold, so it could be a symptom of my illness and nothing to do with the surgery.

I'm 5 weeks out, btw.

WARNING this is graphic!! it feels like there is something caught in your throat for up to an hour. It happened to me about half a dozen times. It has not happened for a year luckily. It happened to me when I had beef Jerky, beef roast and chicken-- didn't chew well enough. Your body produces this mucous- clear and dense. Its your body's effort to lubricate the food down (or up)- but your tiny tummy can't take it and you'll up chuck a few giant mucous balls. lol ( reminds me of a small jelly fish)

I feel the exact opposite. I have constant dry mouth which I'm assuming is from being in constant ketosis. I hate that pasty mouth feeling though.

It's exactly how Sleeve of Steel describes it! It's so gross and the worst feeling ever. You so want more than just the mucous to come up but it doesn't!

Thanks for the descriptions! Sounds like what's going on with me. Blah! Yeah, it's a pretty gross feeling. Can't swallow it and it doesn't go back down for awhile. Oh well. I will try to be more careful with what and how quickly I eat.

Thanks again!!!

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
