Tried to have 4 strawberries for Breakfast this morning, but i don't think it agreed with me. Not long after i was vomiting white foam 🤢

I felt better about an hour or so later. Maybe it was too soon? I'm almost 3wks out of mini bypass surgery.

Anyone else had this? I'm one of those people who absolutely refuses to throw up and will fight it to the end.

I'm 6 weeks out. Have had that happen twice. Think it was just a combination of too much too fast since in those 2 instances I've had that stuff before and was fine

For me it's if I take enough bites to actually feel full, or don't chew enough. I can only eat enough to feel nearly full, if you know what I mean. Since I had surgery I've never felt entirely full, just satisfied. I guess that's the point where "normal" people stop eating, I'd always eat until I felt like I'd explode!

I'm 6 months out and I got the foamies last week at work, after eating chicken for lunch. Spent 2 hours feeling like I was going to vomit and spitting up saliva.

I used to eat until the point of pain, but i was deep in food addiction.

Maybe i did eat too much too fast?

It's worth trying to eat slower and chew everything to a paste, makes it easier on your new tummy anatomy.

I've never gotten the foamies from eating. However, I get them almost every time I drink liquids. I'm still struggling with liquids and I'm four months post surgery.

Eating slowly and chewing well should help with that.

It kinda scared me coz it was the first time for me. Liquids have been fine so far, but I'm going back to liquids and puree for a few days to see if it helps :)

I’ve gotten the foamies after my Protein Shakes and applesauce that I ate too fast. I’m not sure what causes it. Our new tummies are teaching us all the time what we can and can’t handle.

I'm 1 year out and still get the foamies. I have to force myself to throw up to get any relief

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
