This is my 4th week after the surgery and I've been noticing for about 2 weeks now that when I throw up food or Water, I find my saliva to be be slimy, frothy (foamy). Is this normal?
Most of the time when I drink Water I throw up. I can manage about 100-200 ml Protein shake but not water. I am still on mushy foods. I wait half hour after I've finished eating my lunch/dinner and then consume water. But, this only makes me puke out the water along with slimy, foamy saliva.
I also notice that if I fill my stomach with food only up to 60-70% of the hunger that I feel, then I feel good and no vomiting. If I cross that I stuff myself a little too much and I'm 80% full, then there is a 100% chance of me throwing up.
Most people say they don't feel hungry, but in my case I do feel hungry. However, when I take in 4-5 sips of water the gurgling noises that come from my stomach stop. Does anyone else have the same issue?
Is this going to be the case forever? Will this slimy, foamy saliva stop?

I will be your friend and i am not as bitchy as @@LipstickLady! LOL
She is actually hysterically funny!

I'm sort-of, kinda new to Bariatric Pal and I have practically no friends on here. Wanna be friends? I haven't been on/in forums for a while, so I'm out of the loop on adding new friends, but please friend me if you'd like to keep in touch and stuff on here. Also, so I don't feel like the loser kid in the corner scuffing my feet (oh, hi, middle school!).

Hello! My surgery is November 1st @ 7:30am. Anyone else? I'm a bit nervous.

I had my surgery on the 11th and today the 14th I am back to work!! The post-op diet isn't all that bad!! I see food everywhere I turn and it takes a lot of will power not pick a chip out of my daughter's hand and eat it, but I just go grab a popcicle and eat that instead!! I get full and the urge to eat anything else goes away!! But hang in there, if I can do it, you can do it!! I have no will power whatsoever, but I am not going through this just to throw it all away!!

It depends on the doctor you use as to how long they want you on the liquid diet before surgery. But I believe the post diet is almost the same for everyone. Sent from my SM-N930V using the BariatricPal App

I also have to lose 15#'s to get my surgery. I don't have a time limit. But I'm hoping to get the green light for a surgery date on Nov 17th, so I really want to be at surgery goal weight then.. I stay between 1000 to 1200 calories a day and I drink at least 64 Oz of Water. No caffeine. I'm allowing myself one night of eating out weekly. I still watch what I'm eating. Don't drink calories if you don't have any to spare for that. I exercise in the gym 90 min twice weekly (50 min. Weights 40 min cardio). I started at 30 min weights and 20 min cardio. I also walk at least 30 min. a day. (Not all at once) Every other day I have only a shake for Breakfast then 2 meals. I try not to have any Snacks. I lost 5lbs before surgeon gave me goal weight. Since seeing the surgeon 10/1 I have lost another 5lbs. We can do this.
I've also started attending a nutrition class and a weight loss group. Both are very helpful.
We are going on a 4 day trip to Reno next week. I'm a little...no very nervous about this. Luckily for me we are going in our motorhome. So I plan on doing shakes for Breakfast, lite lunch (around 300 calories) and then eat out for dinner. I'm going to limit my alcohol drinking to one drink a day. Lots of walking. I really really don't want to gain! I'll also be weighing myself daily.
BariatricPal is a great place to gather helpful info. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Some answers can be harsh (have experienced that) but for the most part people relate to exactly what you are going through. Good luck with your journey.

I'm just starting my journey. I have to loose 15lbs in 6 weeks. I feel like I did when I started high school: nervous, excited. I have so many questions about food, the process & afterwards. I just keep telling myself slow down, one day at a time.
