Question:
I got a fill two weeks ago, and now I am "foaming" a lot
Right after I eat I have to throw up sometimes, but it is like the 'foamies' not the food I just ate. Any ideas why, or how to stop it? — loisdierlam (posted on July 3, 2008)

I only got the foamies after eating if I ate too much, and sometimes to
much was 1 bite out of the only 2 I had. For months I could only eat 1 bite
every couple hrs. But eventually it stops. This is were You have to learn
what your body and belly is telling You. The slightest feeling of being
full ya better stop cause just that one more nibble is the differance in
the frothy cotton mouth cold sweat stomach spasm upchuck. BUT hey atleast
your losing weight right. Best Wishes Shell

What you are describing is called PB ( Productive Burp) it is usually
caused by eating too fast......not chewing your food good
enough...swallowing air as you eat.....your bites should be no larger than
a dime....you should chew your food until it is mush........keep your
portions to 1/2 to 1 cup and make sure that 85 % of what you eat is
protein........try takeing much smaller bites.....this is not something you
want to do on a regular basis......listen to you body....once you start
getting true restriction it will take you longer and longer to eat if you
do it correctly....so take this time now to get the good habits
going........you might want to check out another web site at Yahoo
Groups.....type in Bandbuddies ....it deals with mainly Lap band patients
and might just be another site you might like.....Pam / Ft
Worth.....bandster Bites Silverware....

The foam is made from Saliva running down your throat. You are eating too
fast for your new pouch and it taking saliva to help pass the food. Your
old stomach had room for this and it helpped pas the food. Right now the
answer is to slow down, take smaller bites, chew 30-50 times before
swallowing. It helps to set your fook down between bites for 30 seconds
before taking it up to work on the next bite. If you do not learn to
correct this, you will also take meet one day that will not pass through
and it will cause so much saliva that you will have a mouth full in just a
mintute or two. This keeps on until it passes, and that could be 8 hours
and it can hurt in the gut as well. Best course to practice eating slowly,
chewing, not eathing more than the amount to take you to 90% full and only
you will know what that is. On me, I could take what I am going to eat,
and run it in a food processor and it would measure 4 ounces. Make sure
not to eat well done meats as there is no moisture in the meat to help it
pass. Hope this helps you. Best of success to you.

I had a fill 6-25 and for the first time, I had the foamies and I did throw
up but I realized I was eating to fast (I was with someone that I had
really not wanted to eat with) I hadn't told her that I had lap band
surgery because I didn't want to hear her talk about what a big mistake it
was, that I could cut back if I wanted to! She is 80 and set in her ways
and nothing anyone can do pleases her...she is an irregular person in my
life. So I know now that I was eating too fast just to get out of the
diner. Just eat slower and when you can tell that you are full, just quit.
Good Luck!!!
