Fizzies / Foam???

What is that?  Being pre-op, I don't have any experience with it.  I understand it happens when food gets stuck?  Reading Kristy's & other previous posts, I'm just curious and wanting to prepare myself.

By the way...I'm glad your feeling better  Kristy.  It was nice to meet you at coffee yesterday!

For me it's when you burb up liquid with a foamy consistency (the old "I just threw up a little") with lots of mouth watering.  The prelude to the previous meal coming back up because it can't get through.  Believe me, you'll know what they are when you get them.

Hope this helps -- and Kristy, I'm glad you feel better too.

Thanks Barb!  I just didn't know what the heck that was!!!  I thought, "wow, do you literally foam at the mouth"?  My imagination goes crazy every once in a while.

Thanks for your post...it definitely helped!

Mine wasn't really foamy before I puked it up, it was jus****ery mouth, and you keep swallowing.  Everytime I'm going to throw up I get a REALLY watery mouth first.  All of the swallowing of the "water" before you puke comes up with the puke.   Yesterday was definately a reminder to slow down, chew, CHEW, take smaller bites and just plain watch it.

Great to meet you too Stephanie.

On a yahoo group I'm on, I think they call the same thing "sliming." One of the women calls herself the Slime Queen which always makes me giggle.

Unless someone thinks sliming and what they are calling here foaming are different things.
