Well I'm 2 month post op down 50 pounds I'm really happy with everything but I still throw up every day. I'm taking my acid reducer 2 times a day. It's not like the food gets stuck it goes down and then like 15 minutes later i cough up a slim ball sometimes with food sometimes not then it's over. I feel like I produce a lot of that slimy stuff and my stomach is filled with it. Is my stomach just super sensitive did anybody else go threw this and does it get better.

I hope your appointment goes good please let me know what your doc says. I really don't think it's cause by acid but what do I know.

I've heard this called the slimes or frothing and have been told it is from eating too much or too fast.

I had a similar problem 2 weeks post op. I was put on prilosec twice a day (morning and night) and also pepcid in the afternoon. I also took reglan for a week, which really helped. Reglan is used to control nausea and excess stomach acid. Takes a couple of doses for it to fully work, but it helped a lot. I still have a bit of nausea but I dont throw up anymore. Doctors are sometimes hesitant to prescribe it because it can have serious sides effects the longer you use it. But, I think it is worth looking into.

Hmmm... thanks. Im willing to try anything.

Its not eating too much, or too fast, or not chewing well. Im talking like a teaspoon of yogurt and 15 minutes later, Im running to the restroom. So maybe it is nausea. Like spaceycasey mentioned, its like the stomach is filled with slime or foam all the time.

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!

Just came from doctors and here's what happened. Explained the vomiting and the foamy gassy feeling. He upped my antacid and hopes it helps. But says at this point I should be tolerating much more than I am. So he seriously thinks my sleeve is too narrow. Sending me for an endoscopy and states we may need to ”stretch” it. What does this mean????

I do this when I eat too fast or eat too much

This also happens to me when I eat too much or eat too fast. In my case it has nothing to do with acid.

Is this a stricture?

Is this a stricture?

He thinks it may be. I have many of the symptoms. But what does he mean they may have to stretch it???

In my case their is no eating too much or too fast. It just always happens. I constantly have a foamy feeling in my tummy. And even the smallest amount of anything comes right up.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
