Foamies usually occur because you eat too much, too fast or eat food that is too dry or coarse. The excess or food that is stuck sort of bubbles up with lots of saliva. Which doesn’t really apply to you at your stage. Sounds more like you’re just plain vomiting. It’s painful because all your muscles are already strained from the surgery & your internal stitches & sutures. You could also have lots of gunk in your tummy from the surgery & maybe some excess acid which is making you nauseous &/or you’re vomiting it up. Some vomit it up while some have foul smelling diarrhoea because they get rid of it that way.

Definitely contact your surgeon though to be sure. Did they prescribe anti nausea meds?

Feel better soon.

Yes, yes. Exactly. Most of my foamies probably could've been avoided. Early on I wasn't used to eating super slow, chewing a LOT. For me, it was a steep learning curve. I also was hell bent on trying to eat fruits with skin on them like cherries or grapes /cry lol.

I got them early on from eggs, chicken, and tuna. I was ok after the 6 mo. mark. I agree with above posters to let your team know.

Being post menopausal, or close to it, can effect your saliva thickness and quantity. That’s why cavities and heart burn are suddenly prevalent at that time. I know this happens to diabetic men too.

I saw this a couple days ago. A bariatric surgeons take on the foamies and how to "treat" it.
