What Happens To Me After Eating A Meal

[Rico 55]

I'm 3 months out and after i eat a meal my stomach brings up something kind of foamy that i have to spit out and this happens usually when i feel i have over eaten a bit.

Has this ever happened to anyone? If so, please explain what it is, how to get rid of it and if i have ride it out how long will that take?

Yes i get this. I have been told it is reflux which is very common after the sleeve. Try speaking with you doctor or surgeon

I think I am right in saying this happens when you have eaten something your sleeve struggles with, or whrn you have eaten too much.

If you are getting it a lot, I'd suggest going back to the basics, eat more slowly, chew very well, and stop when you think you are getting close to full, it is better not to keep stressing your stomach.

Alternately if you are doing all of that, and it is still happeninh, I'd say steer clear of the foods which are triggering it for a while, as your sleeve matures you can usually tolerate a greater variety of foods, so it is probably not forever anyway.

Happened to me yesterday for the first time. Ate Tilapia fish and Veg. Definitely eaten too fast and too much. Very uncomfortable feeling and a lot of spit-like Fluid coming up so I know what to do so it doesn't happen again!

Yes! This has happened to me a few times. Yesterday being the last time it happened. For me it is exactly what the others are saying. I've either eaten a little too much and my sleeve is not happy, or, I eat/drink too fast. Yesterday, it was Water I was drinking too fast and it happened. It's such a weird thing. Then I have to spit it out. My husband teases about it being "not very ladylike" HaHa! but definetly has to come out in order to feel better. You are not alone!

I have not had that yet, but I think many refer to it as 'slimming'. Search it on the forum and you should find more info.

Yes this is called foaming. Others will get sliming instead. It's your bodies way of trying to lubricate/ move the food in the overfilled new stomach you have.
