I had the same thing just last week after a bout with a stomach virus. It was so bad I could not keep even Water down. Finally 2 days ago I saw my doctor & he took all the water out of my balloon. he says my vomiting with the stomach virus probably caused the band to slip. I had an upper gi today & will go see him again next week, I am scared to death he will have to leave the water out or else I will need another surgery.

i have been really struggling after my last fill, as a result i get the foam quite often , more so in the morning than evening. i should get it relaxed but the weight loss is good. if you recently had a fill this may be the cause

Its just saliva mixed with air, nothing to worry about. It is probably indicating that you've eaten to much or not chewed properley as your body produes extra saliva to try and slide the food through.

elcee is 100% correct ...... the dreaded foamy slime!

This has happened to me when I eat too much, don't chew well, or eat foods I can no longer tolerate after being banded and have restriction.

      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.
