Tomorrow I will be 3 weeks post op. For the past few days, every time I eat I get the Slimies. I just ate a very soft scrambled egg (I am allowed this btw) and I'm suffering. I ate it very slow (can't imagine eating it over 20 minutes) and I still got the Slimies. Any suggestions?

I'm sorry, but what are the Slimies?

Same question, what are the slimies?

My guess is the runs?

Slimiest is from the mouth????. Not saliva, not phlegm, kind of an unpleasant mix

When something gets stuck, our body produces this mucous like substance (slime) in an attempt to get the food to go down. I'm way to familiar with this from having the lapband but thankfully have not experienced it since my revision.

The slimes/ frothing/ foaming is horrible! I Had it last week. My husband quickly did some research for me and it said to drink a teaspoon of dill pickle juice. Luckily we had some, about 5 minutes after drinking it I began to feel better and the foaming stopped. It has something to do with the acid in the pickle juice absorbing the mucus foam.

Papaya enzyme works well too.

I have the lap band at this point till I get a revision but the reason you are getting the "slimiest" is because the food may not be moist enough or you didn't chew well enough.
