Mariella Josphef reacted to RickM in Hypoglycemia
It sounds like (non expert, non doctor here) that it may be reactive hypoglycemia, which is fairly common in the bypass world, as it is a result of rapid stomach emptying due to the lack of pyloric valve in that procedure, causes an insulin spike followed by low blood sugar triggering hunger. With the sleeve, we can also experience somewhat rapid emptying due to our small stomach size. DIfferent foods affect this, too - the so-called "slider" foods that slide on through because they don't trigger the pyloric valve to close, typically highly processed carbohydrates.
If this is what is going on, try sticking to meats and high Fiber vegetables that tend to stay in the stomach longer and see if that helps. If it is not RH, then an endrocinologist may be in order to see what is going on with this imbalance. Whether or not your sleeve was botched, you should check with a bariatric surgeon to evaluate this - if you go to your original surgeon, a second opinion from another may be in order to verify whether or not it was "botched" (would the original doc really admit that he goofed?)
good luck in working this out,

The "foamies" are when you eat something that you're not ready for and you throw up, but you don't throw up food, you throw up foam and mucus and your stomach tightens and cramps up and you know right away that you shouldn't have eaten it.

this early out, you should be sticking to your program. You're still healing and can injure your stomach if you don't. If your friend cares about you, then she'll be fine with you eating what you're supposed to be eating.

You could have ripped open you stomach. It's not healed at all. Don't mess up what you have worked so hard for. Good luck.

The first time I got what we call "the foamies" was after eating a soft taco in a Mexican Restaurant. Five and a half months post-op I still can't eat a soft tortilla because my body won't tolerate it. Other than that, you did no harm to yourself, so don't worry.
