Is this the dreaded "foamies"?

I held my tummy really snug....and did :).. Because it's so dry it took a while but yeah.

It gets better...........I promise!

Did you moisten it with mayo/ketchup/sauce or anything like that ?  The key to fish and me is moisture.  I have to have dip.

Sounds like the foamies for sure.  I had that once before (not sure what I ate now) and it's like a gross horrible limbo !

Glad it's over for you :)

Yeah, I made a nice yogurt lemon pepper dill dip - it was delicious!  I think I just took too big a bite.  Oh well!  Lesson learned, and at least it didn't go on for hours like it did for Marny!

Ugh, sorry to hear that you went through this!  I had something similar over the weekend - it was with deli meat roll-ups which I had eaten previously, but I was hungry so took a larger bite than I should have.  The slimy/foamy stuff is gross!

The easiest fish for me to tolerate right now is Tilapia - I can have Salmon too, but find that Tilapia digests better.  I haven't tried Halibut yet. 

Hope you're feeling okay today!

Actually, I'm 18 months post-op, and I have this regularly.

In my case, it seems to be a "bit" stuck at the stoma. And my first clue is a pressure, accompanied by increased salivation.

In the beginning, I absentmindedly swallowed the saliva and kept on truckin', thinking it would eventually work its way through, but no - the key was spitting spitting spitting, and retching until the offending "stuck bit" came back out.

After ten minutes of the shakes and wobblies, I am able to finish the rest of my portion - carefully.

It seems to happen every three-four days. And I call it the Foamies, though I'm not sure exactly what the definition is.

There is an upside to it though. Keeps me on the straight and narrow, portion-wise, at any rate - I'm so afraid of it happening (because it's so uncomfortable) that I'm really good in my portion sizes and speed of chewing.

Yep, that's the foamies alright. Terrible feeling, isn't it.

Karen - yes, it's awful!  But I'm kind of glad it happened, strangely enough, just like I was happy when I realized that I can dump.  As Gabygee says, it will keep me on the straight and narrow.  I promise I won't take big bites at our lunch on Saturday!  Heh.

And yes, Gabygee, that's exactly it - I didn't want to swallow the saliva, because then I thought that would be like swallowing liquids right after solids and that I'd start dumping on top of it all!  :)  Although part of me really wished I could wa**** down with a gulp of water!

Thanks Julia, I will try tilapia when I get the nerve up to try fish again.  It was a dollar cheaper at the fish market, but I thought the white fish would be the flakiest and easiest to digest.  I had three shrimp the other night and handled those really well, but I was taking super-tiny bites because I was nervous over a new food (and we had company, too - great time to try new stuff, I know).  So maybe I'll make some shrimp tonight.

I didn't eat anything else for the rest of the night.  Luckily, I had my 60g of protein in at that point.  I just sipped water the rest of the night.  But I ended up only having 475 calories yesterday as a result, which is always startling to see when you calculate your protein on MFP.

I had a case of the dreaded foamies myself,and i was just over 2 years out. I did a no no and ate one of DH's (then DF) Doritios, and a few minutes later I was feeling the pain, and then the saliva in the mouth, and gurgling, so since we were in the car, I had to have him pull over so I could puke, but instead of puking, it was foamies. I HATED that feeling!

As a bandster, we call that sliming.  I had it happen once and it's gross.  It makes you wonder where all the slimy stuff comes from.

That's what it was, I've been there and done that.

Early out, doesn't happen anymore. You likely took too big a bite, very painful. Try taking a papaya enzyeme when that happens, it helps.

I can no longer throw up.
