Foamies/Slimeies

Will the foamies ever go away? I am early in my post op phase, two weeks to be exact, of VGS and hiatal hernia surgery. I can't seem to eat anything including full liquids without it happening. Does it eventually go away or is this a forever thing?

I've never experienced either one, but I would try eating slower to see if that gives you more time to notice the 1st warning signs that slimies are about to start.

During my 2nd week post-op, a meal for me would be 1 or 2 tablespoons of Soup. My 1st 10 days, I literally ate nothing, I was hurting too much and a bite of anything would send my sleeve into spasms.

I've set timers and made sure I don't finish sooner than a half an hour. I've portioned out everything as instructed. I don't drink as instructed. It happens even after the first bite and no matter how many times I chew.
