"Foaming"

Yup, I had it this morning and hopefully never again (if avoidable) any one ever have this, I am only 2 weeks post RNY. I was not nuseated just throwing up thick mucus clear like substance. Any help out there as to why this happened or how to avoid it? Still new to all these changes, and am now worried to eat my soft food right now.

    Foamies suck. They're caused by eating too much, eating too fast, eating foods too dry, or not chewing well enough. The food back up towards your esophagus and your body produces all that saliva to ea

Foamies suck. They're caused by eating too much, eating too fast, eating foods too dry, or not chewing well enough. The food back up towards your esophagus and your body produces all that saliva to ease the irritation it causes (according to my team). It will happen again. I would go a couple months with no problem and out of the blue it would happen. Occasionally it happened with what I considered 'safe' foods. One week it happened every day, making me think I had a stricture. Just take it one day at a time. Eat slowly and learn to recognize your warning signs. If you do that you can minimize the sick feelings. For me, walking it off helped it pass more quickly. My doc suggests drinking a little Water w/meat tenderizer mixed in, though I haven't tried it. If the feeling doesn't pass within an hour I drink a little something quickly - that makes me puke and bring the whole mess up (losing my Protein for that meal). After that I can't eat or drink anything for a couple hours until my insides settle down. I'm a year out and it still happens - usually when I'm feeling normal and forget that I will always have a smaller capacity for food and need to limit food types.

It's so worth it though!!!! I started at 233bs (sz22-24, 2X) and am now 118lbs (sz6, s/xs).
