Hello all. I am about 3.5 months post op and more recently I have been getting pain/pressure feeling after eating a few bites (grilled chicken, turkey burger patty, these types of things). I get this pressure feeling and then become very nauseous. I have vomited, and this mucous/ white foam stuff comes up. Anyone else experience this? Why all of the sudden my sleeve is not liking any of these foods?

That sounds like "foamies" and happens when something gets "stuck" in your sleeve, causing a blockage. Is it possible you are eating too fast or aren't chewing enough?

I actually said to my husband,I wonder if some of my old eating fast habits are coming back and I'm not even noticing that I am doing it. I definitely have to be more aware and chew chew chew! I just haven't had this feeling/ vomiting until now. I would have thought it would have happened earlier on.

Earlier on, you have lots of other factors limiting the speed you can eat and the amount of chewing you do. You are right at the perfect stage where eating has become "easy" again and you might eat faster than you should without realizing it. Definitely try to be very conscious of eating slowly and chewing thoroughly for the next couple of days and see if it helps.

I only had foamies once, at this past Thanksgiving, and I was over a year post-op! So it can strike at any time if we aren't careful. I definitely just ate too much too fast that day and paid the price!

I also experienced this, especially with more solid foods. I found that the more solid the food, the smaller the portion I can handle. Also, pacing yourself(which is still something I struggle with) helps a lot. It also gives you time to recognize that "full" feeling before its too late. Good luck with everything, I know how awful it is. I vomited everything I ate for almost a week straight...
