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?

Well in my experience it is eating to fast or dumping and yes that is what your throw up is like now!

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.

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.

      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.
