Too funny! The noises that come out of my throat and tummy are definetly annoying at times.. Especially when I am in a quiet meeting hahaha! Still prefer all the little annoyances over that 100 lb sack of blubber I was carrying around :)

Every time I eat I get those burps in my throat it's so annoying to say the least :(

How far along are you? I'm 5 weeks and that use to happen to me too. But I kept going. I don't remember when maybe last week but throat problem is gone still burping but I notice when I slow down less burping! The sounds aren't to loud so IDK LOL.

I just took two bites of lunch (ricotta bake, no mozzarella, pureed lean hamburger), and got what I think you guys call the "slimes."

Is that what you call it when you feel like you have an elephant in your esophagus, your mouth fills with saliva, you feel like you're gonna hurl, and you have to spit about five times?

Benjiboi, that sounds AWFUL!! Haven't had them.

Danielle, it goes away, try to eat slower. That seems to help me.

foam and slime? I've never heard of this until I joined this forum. How to avoid? 5 1/2 weeks out and haven't seen anything like that.

Take small bites, chew it good and eat slowly. Don't overeat. You'll know it when (if) it happens!

OK, I'm no longer a virgin; I just vomited after I too quickly swallowed three baby spoon bites of pumpkin/squash souffle, and then took one sip of Lifewater to "wash it down."

There's no more "washing that bump of food down" happening, is there?

Had the same problem but it has gotten better. I slowed down my eating and it seems to be subside. Still get it from time to time when I eat fast or too much. Just learn to listen to your body, slow down and stop eating when you start feeling that gurgle in your throat. Worked for me.

Foamies/Slimies - same thing as far as I'm concerned. Happens pretty quickly after I eat too fast or too much. It happened last week after one bite - I said one bite of buffalo wing that was dipped in ranch dressing. As soon as I swallowed it, the foamies came. I was at the bowling alley too and was scared to death I wouldnt make it to the bathroom but I did, through up slimy spit, then went back to bowl.

I stopped eating while bowling in my league. I stopped eating at work also because of getting the foamies. I use that time at work to get my 64 ounces of Water in and drinking my Isopure (grape flavored) Protein drink (40 g protein!). I'll snack on Peanut Butter, pieces of cheese, boiled eggs but thats about it at work. For a real meal, I eat at home - just in case!!!!!

      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.
