I've been experiencing a sudden onset of nausea and extra saliva. It sends me running to the bathroom to vomit but sometimes I dont, I just have to spit out the extra saliva and after a few minutes I'm good. Please tell me what could this be

It's called the "slimies" and happens when your stomach wants to get rid of that extra bite or something that did not go down well. It can happen a lot in the early months after surgery, as you learn not to take that extra bite, and to slow down your eating so you can start feeling satisfied before eating too much. It is horribly uncomfortable, for sure. It still happens to me once in a while, usually because I ate too much too fast. I don't vomit easily, so I spit and spit and spit until it passes, which can take up to an hour for me. Yuk! Anyway, lots of people experience this. Just try to be mindful when you eat. Chew every bite really well and put the fork down between bites. Enjoy the taste of every bite, and don't think you have to "finish every bean and pea on your plate."

Omg!!!! Thank you SOOOO MUCH!!! I thought something was wrong

It's called "The Foamies." If you eat something your stomach can't tolerate (for me it's tortillas) then your stomach will let you know. Or if you've eaten too much. You won't throw up food, but you'll get "the foamies" and throw up foam and saliva as a warning that your stomach doesn't like it.

It's perfectly normal!! Happened to me about 5-6 times in my first few months of solid foods. I quickly learned not to take that "one more bite" as that's when it would happen! Best of luck to you!!
