A trick I learned, from this site actually, is to chew a gas-x tablet and it ends the foamies. I didn't learn it in time to stop the 22 hour episode of the foamies I had as a result of trying a scrambled egg though! Good luck & feel better!

What are the foamies? I just had surgery on Monday, so I haven't experienced them. Doesn't sound like I ever want to either! :-)

It occurs when your pouch is empty, but you throw up anyway. The only thing to come up is foam - sometimes foam follows your having thrown up the offensive food. Despite the emptiness, you can throw up over and over again. It's painful at times, but miserable always. Gas-x is the trick - hope you never experience them.

Thanks for the info. Doesn't sound fun at all.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
