jodimc 117 Posted December 24, 2012 From Water and Isopure? I highly doubt it. I don't know what a slime or foam incident is, that's what I'm asking. Is it like vomiting but it's foam or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristy3k 1,133 Posted December 24, 2012 Well in my experience it is eating to fast or dumping and yes that is what your throw up is like now! 1 Tim Sebora reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jodimc 117 Posted December 24, 2012 Found this on a surgeon's website: Patients may experience something more common than nausea following the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure. Known as “frothing and foaming,” this spit-up is the white frothy liquid caused when the new pouch no longer contains stomach acids to break down your foods. This thick mucus mixes with the food to move it through your new pouch and into the rest of your digestive tract. Try drinking warm fluids first thing in the morning, throughout the day, or when you have found the spitting up is the worst. This helps to break this mucus down. It is self-limiting and will get better as your body adjusts to the new digestive system. 2 zuzuspetals and Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicki Loichinger 444 Posted December 24, 2012 I have had a couple of the foamies when I have drank to big a drink of something. Used to happen a lot while I was banded. So it kinda shocked me just a bit, but then I thought back to being banded and thought it was probably the same thing. Used to call it a productive burp.
