I have been so sick all day because I'm full of saliva and its like I'm foaming! It's ridiculous. Man oh man I'm normally a positive person but I'm so disappointed right now! It's been one thing after another the last week Was in the hospital yesterday getting rehydrated and spent all of today puking! Help!! What's up with this?

Foaming is one of the side effects. My doctor says to drink something warm to dissolve it. Hope this helps. Sorry you are having a hard time.

I have never had the foamies, but I have had the slimes. No, they are not one in the same. Funny though... I never had the slimes when I was on a liquid diet, so this leads me to believe that it is related to actual food not being chewed thoroughly.

How long does it last?

I know what your going through when it comes to the excess saliva. I have days that i cant keep it in my mouth. some nights I keep a towel under my mouth to catch all of it. apparently it gets less and less over time, my doctor says. chin up girl it will get better

I have only had it last up to an hour after eating. Some swear that there's last up to 3 hours but that sounds extreme since food should have left the sleeve by 3 hours.

Try eating smaller bites, chew until pulverized and eat your meals over a 30-45 min time span and see if that helps.

What is the difference between "sliming" and " the foamies"?

Well it is exactly what it sounds like. Sliming means, a slimy form of your saliva. Foamies, are usually a foamy form of saliva and often has burps associated with it.

Ah, ok, thank you! I have dealt with the excessive saliva and it is not fun!

I had excess saliva for about 4 days post op. then it stopped. Good luck!

Mine was not foam or slime.

It really does not last long, although it feels as though it may last forever. It doesn't. The only time now that I get foam where I have to spit it out, is when I over-eat (my nose runs, too), or I did not chew my food long enough. I find when I am drinking more water or fluids I have less foam, as well.
