Hi!!

I keep reading stories about getting the foamies? I'm not really aware of the foamies. Can someone please fill me in on them? Thanks and have a great day!

Not sure what the foamies are, but I had the slimes a couple days after surgery. I was so swollen and full, that I was spitting up white foamy slime. I've heard this happens when you're too full. Haven't had them since.

Thank you for letting me know...I've heard of slimes too. They are probably the same thing.

I am so glad you asked this!! I am constantly wondering "what are foamies & slimes? And what crevice do they come from"

I think they are the same thing....when I ate something Sleevina didn't like.. I got extra thick, foamy saliva.... when I ate one bite too much, it's like the saliva took on a life of its own and just kept sliding up out of my esophagus.... UGH!! Not a good feeling!

So there is really no controlling it then??

You can control it by listening to your sleeve and not overfilling it with food and drink. It only took one time to teach me!

Oh you'll know it when you get it! For me it's been triggered by eating too fast and not chewing enough and by random foods that for whatever the reason the sleeve says "no" to that day.

It feels like foam in your throat. If you get this feeling, my advice is just to go get rid of it! It's like a slime ball- totally gross and I don't usually throw up the food I ate, just the foam/slime ball.

Best advice I can try and give is chew way more than you think you should, take lots of time between bites and stop eating before you feel full. These are all really hard to do sometimes- for me at least, I still struggle.
