Vomiting question possible TMI



Recommended Posts

I am close to a month out and until the other day had not bad any nausea/vomiting but it must have been something i ate. The question i have is it anyone else notice that when they got nauseous if you started spitting up a lot of saliva and then when you did vomit there was a good amount of foam?

Sliming or the foamier is quite common after WLS. It usually happens when something is stuck and the body produces extra saliva to try and help it slide through.

With a band I have sometimes had so much foam And slime I feel like a rabid dog

As Elcee said, the saliva is to facilitate your body with the vomiting process. This is something that can happen to those who haven't had WLS, too.

As stated by the other wonderful posters, the Foamies or Slimies. Super common. I used to have to avoid sitting upright too quickly in the AM, instead I would roll to the side and wiggle out of bed at an angle. Something about the 90 degree angle compression on my abdomen caused the nausea. Eventually I was able to get up normally. Very rarely ever get nauseous anymore.

Safe Journey 🎈

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
