Red face mucus blockage ????

What is the mucus about?
I noticed some after the second fill when I lost food due to eating too fast or the food was dry (cornbread, sliced bread, fried chicken strips).
With this third fill (5-4-06), I am suffering from so much mucus that I can't get my fluids down unless they or hot. I have found that hot broth and creamy soups go down well but I am thirsty for a drink of just plain water. If I drink water, juice, protein drinks and the like, it is coming up with a lot of mucus. So I am not getting enough fluids and I don't want to go to the hospital as my primary care doctor has warned me.
Do I need to get a small unfill to correct this problem,
wait a week or so for my stomach to settle down,
or what?
I have been losing weight very slowly so I am not complaining if this is something I have to live with. But, if I can get rid of the mucus, I think I will be okay. Bewilded in Texas
