Vomiting question possible TMI



Recommended Posts

I am close to a month out and until the other day had not bad any nausea/vomiting but it must have been something i ate. The question i have is it anyone else notice that when they got nauseous if you started spitting up a lot of saliva and then when you did vomit there was a good amount of foam?

Sliming or the foamier is quite common after WLS. It usually happens when something is stuck and the body produces extra saliva to try and help it slide through.

With a band I have sometimes had so much foam And slime I feel like a rabid dog

As Elcee said, the saliva is to facilitate your body with the vomiting process. This is something that can happen to those who haven't had WLS, too.

As stated by the other wonderful posters, the Foamies or Slimies. Super common. I used to have to avoid sitting upright too quickly in the AM, instead I would roll to the side and wiggle out of bed at an angle. Something about the 90 degree angle compression on my abdomen caused the nausea. Eventually I was able to get up normally. Very rarely ever get nauseous anymore.

Safe Journey 🎈

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
