 Haven't been on the forum lately and half been doing quite well.  Today I overate at a party watching the football game and am now in such pain and also have the slimies.  Doesn't happen very  often but I feel like dying right now

I hear standing up and walking helps with that kind of feeling.  I hope you feel better soon.

The sleeve is not happy!  This is what it is saying. ;)  It can definitely happen to the best of us! The good news it will be over soon.  I am sorry you are miserable, the slimmies are not pleasant.
Hang in there, you will be back to normal soon.
Best wishes

I'm sorry you aren't feeling well! Guess the sleve is doing what it was supposed to, right? But I have a question - what is "the slimmies" ??? Thanks.

 I didn't have it prior to about 7 months. Probably because I am super frightened to vomit.  I only have a few times in my life.  Many get it right from the start.  When you get overfull it is like things back up but instead of vomiting you are either wiping a slimey liquid into a tissue or over the toilet.  I think it the body's way of trying to rid itself of what it can't digest.  Maybe someone else has a better explanation but that is what it feels like to me.  During the process you feel extreme pain mainly in the area of the esophagus.

I ate some too-dry chicken breast for lunch on Friday and had my first episode of sleeve unhappiness.  I think you just have to wait it out.  Once you're past your time limit for drinking, try taking little sips of water to get things to move through. 

I just closed my office door and alternated standing up with my arms above my head and sitting with my head on my des****il it passed.  I think it lasted about 30 minutes, but it felt like forever.

Lesson learned.  No more plain grilled chicken from the cafeteria.

 I have heard that a lot  about chicken.  It never happened to me but I was very careful only to eat moist chicken.  I tend to go with the dark meat now.

Yes it does feel like forever but just as quickly as it comes, when it is done, it is done.

Yes I always have to stand and walk it off.  I know people who lie down.  I can't even imagine that

Have you tried chewing papaya enzymes to help you digest?
