4 weeks post op and having my first bout with tummy issues

Hi all, I'm 4 weeks post op/open RNY and beginning to introduce solid foods. I'm having problems with throwing up mucus and frothy saliva afterwards but rarely ever any of the food. I'm eating slowly and chewing at least 25 times as dr suggested, I eat the foods suggested by the nutritionist and I make sure to measure. I don't have a clue what I'm doing wrong. I do notice that this happens mostly after lunch and supper. I walk 30-60 5 times a week and I think I have reached a plateau, but I have lost 30 lbs since 6/4 but nothing in the past week. Is anyone else having the same tummy problem? Thanks in advance.

You don't mention how much you are drinking. Drinking lots of water/fluids should thin down the mucus and may stop your problems. The more you exercise the more fluids you will need. Give this a try, hope it helps.

Karen, Try drinking some warm tea before you eat. That should clear up the froth. It worked for me!

Hey Karen, I have the foamy burps to and I have not figured out what causes it but am under the conclusion that not the speed at which you are eating the the size of the portion per mouthful...I started changing my mouth size portions and the foamy burps are a rareity now. It's worth a try.
