liquids making me have foamies/slime?



Recommended Posts

Hey y'all, so I tried searching on here for an answer but found nothing. I had surgery three weeks ago, and for the last three days I've had constant issues with excess saliva and mucus in my mouth. I've tried no dairy, alkaline Water, and returning to liquids, but to no avail. One day I also had heartburn but it was from some tea I had. I don't really know what to do as even water causes me to foam up and have to spit into a cup!

Today I'm trying to take a break from liquids (after getting 64 oz in) and haven't had solid food, just Protein Shakes. I am going to reach out to my doctor about this but I have no idea what is causing this. Any ideas?

You may have a stricture, I would try and see your Dr ASAP, you don't want to become dehydrated

Go see your doctor ASAP. I had this issue for months after VSG I wasn't able to hold down anything even liquids like h20. After several ER trips for dehydration and Abdominal pain, plus 4 cts, 2 xrays, and various scans and blood testing, I had to have emergency gallbladder removal surgery. My gallbladder had stopped functioning correctly was full of dark almost black sludge and was beginning to effect my other organs. Even after surgery Still had foam and throwing up. This was so bad it caused me to develope a hiatal hernia. The hernia I was told would heal over time and as I lost more weight. It took about 7 months to even see a slight improvement. Hope this helps you, and wish you the best in your weight-loss journey. 🙂

I also vote to contact your doctor asap. It could be something as simple as GERD and needing some PPIs or it could be something significant like a stricture. But, you won't know unless you contact your doctor and give him a chance to properly diagnose it.

Update: Last night after trying to take my antacid medication I ended up puking up stomach acid with a bit of blood in it. Not good. I called my surgeon and nurse and my nurse said this was normal and that something often triggers GERD. I am waiting to hear from my surgeon but he's very lax about stuff like this so far. I'm trying not to panic but I also feel like they won't take any of this serious until my stomach is fully healed or something.

@S@ssen@ch, @Angie2.0, and @elcee thank you so much for answering. I've actually had a nightmare of 3 weeks after surgery. It started out with my surgeon accidentally poisoning me and not answering my calls/messages for 1.5 weeks after surgery. I had to report him to the hospital for negligence after I went to the er being unable to keep down any Water due to wrong dosage of medication.

      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.
