3wks and 3 days post op RNY and I had my first bout of the foamies. I did not know we could not throw up so I sat at the toilet waiting for 30mins and nothing happened. Not a pleasant experience. It did lead me to discover papaya enzymes to help with the cramping afterwards. But man, I will not attempt to eat that quickly again.

    Ugh what a horrible learning experience. I had the lapband for 12 years and was not using it well. I remember well the foamies and sliming. Like I've already over eaten so now I am producing all kinds of saliva that there's no room for so trying not to throw up and then spitting out the foamies and slime from abundant saliva production. I feel for you because I've been there!

    Oh it is the worst! I'm 18 months post-op and I can tell you, it gets better and it's soooo worth it! Definitely eat slow, take small bites and get to know your limits now. But, know those limits do increase.
