Ok. My fault totally. Not the band. I love my band. :cool2:

I got in a hurry eating and got stuck . I did not panic as I have read that it does not good. I simply went to the bathroom and carefully concentrated on not throwing up.

HOWEVER, the whole sliming process and working a bit of what was stuck up was nasty :tongue:. Took a long time to be able to get a drink in and it stay down (about 4-5 hours). I was just patient and calm and grossed out and got through it.

I am not eating slowly and paying attention. All of this on mushies! Dear Lord, help me when I move to solids :sad_smile:. Anyway, the band definately has my respect and full attention now and I am being very careful about eating slowly and even chewing the dickens out of my mushies.

Hi sistasassy: This is my worse nightmare. It has not happen to me yet. But, when I let myself get really hungry, I forget to slow down. Then I feel the restriction.

I try to catch the hunger before I get way to ravenous.

I too had this experience the other day. Totally scary, but it let me know that my band was really working. lol

I am a little nervous for those experiences where you learn what you can eat and what you cannot.

I'm am so scared of this! I just started mushies, and have been eating really carefully. No one will explain to me what "slimming" is! could someone please tell me what it feels like? Thanks!

Sliming or pb'ing feels like a fist has hit you in the middle of your chest. Very painful! I've only done it once and that was enough for me. I make sure to stop eating as soon as i feel the least bit full. During sliming your mouth feels with saliva and its just out of control. Don't want to gross you out but its really just pain and a lot of spitting. This went on for me for over an hour. I guess it was good to experience it b/c now i don't overeat. Good luck

Sliming is rather gross. Your mouth produces a large amt of thick slimy saliva, it's your body's way of producing some lubricant to get that thing we ate dislodged. It has happened to me several times. It only happens when we forget to eat like a bandster and revert to old ways. My kids have seen me in this situation, it hurts to swallow, so I have to spit it out, and it is so thick you can't "cut it", have some good paper towels on hand if this ever happens. Or a disposable cup!:biggrin: Happened to me in the car with 1 bite of french fry, which I thought I chewed well!

Wow Beth! That description was very accurate - gross - but very accurate! :biggrin:

Yep sistasassy, our bands remind us quickly when we make a significant mistake. It's all part of the learning process though.

I read on another post that when you start pb'ing to do the yoga position downward dog and that is supposed to help. I slimed once and didnt know about that yet. I'm intending t try it if and when it happens again.

Beth got it right. Had my first experience with it last week and what a horrible experience. If you are wondering "if" you've experienced it or are wondering "if" you will know, don't. You will know it! And you will not be wondering if it happened. I say this only because I thought once that I had experienced it and could not figure out what the big deal was. Now I know. I have now learned my lesson. Chew, chew, chew, and then chew some more.

I didn't have any issue with any foods till my 3rd fill. Suddenly scrambled eggs made me want to tear open my chest (after 2 bites). Now, solid food in the morning is out of the question and if the bread isn't toasted and really thing forget it. Even then it's not worth it. The only REALLY major sliming was the same experience in the car with 1 curly fry and a bite of a sandwich....It came right up and into the bag. SO GROSS. I think of it as my band slapping me in the face for daring to put that crap in my mouth.

Gottcha!!

Thanks all for shareing! I know now what I don't want to happen,lol! although i'm sure its going to happen sooner or later :wink_smile:
