Odd feeling when I have forgotten to eat breakfast or when eaten too much (hate not cleaning plate) . It’s the same place that when you are extremely nervous before a test maybe or being winded is so higher than tummy button almost at boob height. It’s a horrible horrible feeling that I cannot relieve just have to wait out.
Is this familiar to anyone else with a Sleeve? How do I relieve this?

If it’s when you may have eaten a bit too much , could it be dumping syndrome ? I have had it , but couldn’t actually be sick . It’s the worst feeling .

Yeah, you likely ate too much too fast.

Waiting it out is the easiest thing to do, but you can also go for a walk and will go away faster (and you can get some exercise in )

P.S. can you try putting smaller portions of food onto your plate so you don't feel the need to "clean your plate" and risk over eating? You can always put more on if you are still hungry....

If I eat too much or the wrong foods (bread, tortillas) I get an uncomfortable full feeling from stomach up to throat and sometimes get what we call here "the foamies" where you throw up mucus but not food. Best to stop before you get that feeling by watching your portion sizes.

I really don’t eat more than 50g of food at a time anymore it’s just when it happens in the morning before any food that I can’t manage it. Sometimes a corner of a protein bar helps

So the foamies or as I call it a ball of slime. What causes that besides overeating? I’m having that issue now if I drink something, after I chew my vitamins, or even take a bite of food. It gets stuck like right around my bra line area and I start beating that area trying to burp it doesn’t work and almost instantly it brings up the foamy stuff but no food ??‍♀️ it’s concerning because it’s happening almost daily a couple of times a day.

I chew small bites to oblivion and take small sips.

I only get it when it's something my stomach won't tolerate. A year post-op and I still can't eat steak, bread, pork chops, pasta, or potatoes.

That makes sense so that may be more of my issues. I’m still learning what I can and cannot tolerate. Which seems to change daily ??
