Foamies?
What helps.....and I still do this....is to try and eat "wet" food.......I've heard it termed as "food lube"
When eating dense proteins like chicken, beef, pork it helps to have it wet with sauce. Like I always keep Wendy's Chili in the fridge......rarely eat the chili plain...most times I use it as a gravy for chicken or beef. I also use condiments like mayo or ketchup. I also like the pre made soups from Safeway....they have a great Roasted Red Bell Pepper soup that is a great gravy for just about everything.
- Eat slow (go for 20 minutes) and slower towards the end.......and chew...get it real fine.....
- Don't drink with your meal....especially after a dense protein. Your Pyloric Valve will be closed and no where for the liquid to go.....
- Don't eat to much....always eat measured amounts of food that is under your sleeves capacity.
Hope this helps

Foamies...Yuck! I have had them four times. Once when I ate something I shouldn't have (sausage too early out), once when I ate a piece of chicken that was too dry, once when I took a drink of water too soon after eating and recently...not sure what happened. I haven't had the foamies since early post-op and for some reason last week I suddenly had them. I don't know if I drank too much or if it was because my dear hubby had me try on his c-pap machine and I took in too much air or combo of the two but suddenly my mouth filled with saliva and I was standing above the toilet spitting and foaming. For me it passes quickly.
