Too funny! The noises that come out of my throat and tummy are definetly annoying at times.. Especially when I am in a quiet meeting hahaha! Still prefer all the little annoyances over that 100 lb sack of blubber I was carrying around :)

Every time I eat I get those burps in my throat it's so annoying to say the least :(

How far along are you? I'm 5 weeks and that use to happen to me too. But I kept going. I don't remember when maybe last week but throat problem is gone still burping but I notice when I slow down less burping! The sounds aren't to loud so IDK LOL.

I just took two bites of lunch (ricotta bake, no mozzarella, pureed lean hamburger), and got what I think you guys call the "slimes."

Is that what you call it when you feel like you have an elephant in your esophagus, your mouth fills with saliva, you feel like you're gonna hurl, and you have to spit about five times?

Benjiboi, that sounds AWFUL!! Haven't had them.

Danielle, it goes away, try to eat slower. That seems to help me.

YES, THAT IS THE SLIMES :(

Is that the same as foamies? I had the foamies once......thick white foam on my tongue......I was early out and mixed some Protein powder with yogurt......and it was way too think for my healing sleeve........

foam and slime? I've never heard of this until I joined this forum. How to avoid? 5 1/2 weeks out and haven't seen anything like that.

Take small bites, chew it good and eat slowly. Don't overeat. You'll know it when (if) it happens!

I didn't know what to call it, now i know.Got it after a crab cake. Didn't want't to throw up since it was so expensive.

I just started eating today!!! Did good till dinner.

Ate too much, too fast, of both. I'm spitting slimy foamy mucous and food.

I'm not happy right now!!!

OK, I'm no longer a virgin; I just vomited after I too quickly swallowed three baby spoon bites of pumpkin/squash souffle, and then took one sip of Lifewater to "wash it down."

There's no more "washing that bump of food down" happening, is there?

Had the same problem but it has gotten better. I slowed down my eating and it seems to be subside. Still get it from time to time when I eat fast or too much. Just learn to listen to your body, slow down and stop eating when you start feeling that gurgle in your throat. Worked for me.

Foamies/Slimies - same thing as far as I'm concerned. Happens pretty quickly after I eat too fast or too much. It happened last week after one bite - I said one bite of buffalo wing that was dipped in ranch dressing. As soon as I swallowed it, the foamies came. I was at the bowling alley too and was scared to death I wouldnt make it to the bathroom but I did, through up slimy spit, then went back to bowl.

I stopped eating while bowling in my league. I stopped eating at work also because of getting the foamies. I use that time at work to get my 64 ounces of Water in and drinking my Isopure (grape flavored) Protein drink (40 g protein!). I'll snack on Peanut Butter, pieces of cheese, boiled eggs but thats about it at work. For a real meal, I eat at home - just in case!!!!!

I had "noises" also, but with my lapband. Everytime I drank something, my esophagus would gurgle. After a few months and my band loosened a little, they went away. My husband missed it - it lulled him to sleep!

Never had any noises with my sleeve, however. I'm sure it's normal otherwise people would be shocked, but no on is! I'm 4 mths out and never once had a noise.
