I had read about sliming but didn't experience it until today - I experienced it while I was drinking a blueberry smoothie made with yogurt - does anyone know if it was the smoothie that did it or is there a particular kind of drink or food that causes it - I am 12 days post-op and this is the first experience with it I have had. Thanks!

Happens to me sometimes, but ALWAYS when I have ice cream.

Must have been the yogurt in the smoothie -won't do that again - Thanks

Hi:

It might be that you had something so yummy that you ate it a bit too fast. Try again sometime but take it slow.

What is sliming?

kirbywhite:

I'm not sure what it is technically. From experience I can tell you that sometimes if you eat too fast, don't chew enough, or eat too much (break the bandster rules) your pouch gets irritated. When this happens for some reason your system creates extra thick spit. This spit then makes you hicup and burp and eventually the spit has to come out. It's kind of weird, like egg yolk. I think of it as my spit snake when it comes out. You almost could cut it with a knife. I usually have to kind of pull on it to make it stop. Yucky - but you asked.

Follow the rules and it won't happen much.

Take care.
