Bloated is normal but sliming isn't at this stage. I would be calling the doctor because you should be concerned with becoming dehydrated.

Hi Mike,

I was banded on Wednesday and I've been able to drink fluids quite easily since an hour or two after my surgery. If I was having your problem with drinking I'd probably give a quick call to my doctor, it certainly can't hurt. Also the bloating for me at sometimes has been intense too, and the gas pains are almost unreal! I've finally bought some gax-x strips and they seem to be helping at least a little bit.

Mike I am so sorry. You should call Kowalski's office.

sliming is just gross I hate when that happens.

What I did was take a very small sip of Clear liquids then wait a few minutes before I took another. How fast are you drinking the half ounce.

I was only able to do about 4 sips in about 15 minutes or I got the slime. This lasted for about a week. Then I was able to get things down better.

Sounds like you are very very swollen from sugery.

Hope that you feel better.

I myself am calling Kowalski today to get an unfill. UGH I have only been able to get HOT Clear Liquids down since a few days after my last fill which was on tuesday. Slime slime slime. YUCK...

The one person mentioned the Gas X Strips get them they help...

Let me know how you are doing.

I agree, call your Dr. In the meantime, have you tried using a sippy cup? I have heard that using one helps you to sip slower/smaller portions. I am not banded yet but I bought a sippy cup and child size silverware so that I take really small bites and spoonfuls. Good luck

      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
