I fought the sleeve and the - sleeve won

Almost 10 weeks out and tonight I overdid it and ate too much.  I think I was trying to pu**** - not sure why.  I ended up throwing up.  Now I know - won't do that again.

LOL  yes,  the sleeve will make a believer out of you ,  happened to me once also  :o) jeani

I know what you mean! Tonight I decided to have some pork ribs....it was really moist so figured that it would be ok to eat. I have been sick withe foamies for the last two hours and vomited once. NO MORE PORK FOR ME!

 What is foamies?

When you eat too fast, do not chew well enough or if you progress to thicker/heavier foods too soon, the foamies can start. It's essentially an overproduction of saliva and sometimes it will last for a couple of hours until the food moves out of your sleeve. I never experienced it with the sleeve really. I had it all the time with the band, and it didn't what or when or how fast I ate some days with the band, it happened mostly with meats. Sometimes, there will be discomfort, or burpings up foam from the upper esophagus as well.

At almost 2 years out, guess what? The sleeve still wins. Grant it, I can eat twice what I could at say 3-4 months out, but I still find it amazing that after 6 tortilla chips with salsa, and 1 small tortilla(the rounded part of the tortilla torn off) with 1Tbsp of beans, a smear of sour cream, some sauteed onions, and about 3 tiny strips of fajita steak, and I'm totally satisfied. I wasn't stuffed, but full, and walked away from dinner looking at my bill and smiling because me and the kiddo shared a fajita for one and it cost me a whopping $9 ! ! !

Isn't that the greatest??

The foamies are like foam and saliva that keep coming up on your throat. I have had them three times after eating chicken and pork. The foamies make you pure miserable ...it feels like something is stuck in your stomach and here comes the foamies!

 Ewwww... thanks for the warning!  

Thanks! I think it is good to know that can happen I haven't thrown up now forat least 5 weeks but that was still do to the surgery not over eating. So far I stop if I just feel anything.
