First Time "foamies" (gross)
I have said that after 5 months I sometimes forget I have had surgery because I am so into the routine of what I eat but I guess I forgot yesterday. I fixed a peach, small pieces and a small amount of cottage cheese. I was sitting at the table and TALKING to my husband while I ate and about half way through I got an awful pain but could not pinpoint exactly where it was. I stopped eating. Then for about the next 15 minutes I had that salivating feeling we get before we throw up, I was unsuccessful in doing so but I knew something was stuck so I finally made myself throw up and was shocked to see it looked like a raw egg dropped in water, just a small pc of peach and lots of slime. I googled it and read this was "foamies" because something had stuck and my esophagus was producing lots of saliva to get it moved. It took about another hour for the pain to go away after that but you can bet your sweet bippy I will be more careful. All this time I have been so fortunate to have none of this, even after eating meat, and no nausea or vomiting at all. Consider this a friendly reminder that we have had our guts rearranged!!
Yes, in my experience the foamies are not foamy at all, just perfectly clear slime. In my lone episode there was just the tiniest bit of ham floating in it.
