Yep...Sliming and PB...it happened!



Recommended Posts

I have just been going along my merry way with no problems. Today is the first day that I ate bread since my fill. I didn't even think about it. I was in my classroom getting ready for school to start and I was about 3/4 the way through a small sandwich when I got that "stuck" feeling.

Prior to today, when I felt stuck, I could wait it out and the food would go down -- NOT THIS TIME! It started out like normal...discomfort with the urge to burp. However, this time I felt like it needed to come up. Thankfully, I made it to the sink in my room. I started sliming like crazy and then sort of "coughed-up" a tiny little piece of bread! I swear it sounded like my cat coughing up a fur-ball! :)

I just felt lucky that no one was around to see me sliming. They would have thought that they just walked into a showing of The Exorcist. :thumbup:

The moral of this sad tale...chew, chew, slow, slow!!

Thanks for telling your experience. I haven't had that happen yet, but I am sure the day will come. I was banded just before you on 06-17. I have not really introduced breads into my meals yet. I have pretty much decided not to do the white bread starch at this point just for weight loss reasons. I have had some success so far with just meat and veggie so I am sticking with that. It does get boring sometimes though.

PB is "productive burp". Basically, what goes down...comes up! Sliming is when foamy, slimy mucous comes up too -- GREAT FUN -- NOT!

      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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
