OMG.... I would get that... I called it the "foamies" As soon as I did not chew something well I knew the second I would swallow I would have the foamies. I would spit up really foamy syliva, big huge bubbles would come out of my mouth too !!! I would feel sick too !!! It would last anywhere from 1 hour to once I had the foamies for 12 hours straight and boy was I sick !!!! And it seems like every time I tried to swallow it was swallowing air and it would make it worse. There was nothing I could do but ride it out until it passed and it would stop very suddenly too, it was like one second you were sick and the next you were not !!!

Chew ur food really well and slow ur drinking. Doing those two things should help

Unfortunately, I'm four months out and STILL get the "foamies". Wish I had some advice but I've learned it just -happens-

Hope you feel better!

The foamies suck! I feel for you. I think you are drinking too fast hon. I am almost 4 weeks out and if I drink too fast I feel like crap.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
