The foamies/with revision
Im a RNY to DS revision. Ive noticed over the last week or so by the end of the day my stomach hurts and i want to throw up. It's always the thick stuff, I think people refer to as foamies. I do not each much solid food yet (long story) so I know its not from over eating. I do manage to get in my syntrax protein shake 2/4 times a day. Is there any way to reduce this foam in our stomach's? Is it from me maybe drinking to fast, which i don't think I do. It's just weird that it always happens in the evenings. My revision was a hot mess! Without all the gory details I was in hospital for 2 months and had a leak. I'm much better. Still do not have all my energy back but slowly getting to the drinking and eating stage.
I've gotten foams when I added a shake on top of a meal but if you were empty and had foamies with a shake I would slow down a bit and just do a quick check with the surgeon's office to see if it's something they want to ckeck out. Keep us posted and good luck.

I'm a virgin D.S. 2 years out now. When I was beginning to eat solid food I had the foamies at dinner time for a few weeks. I think I was eating too much, or the food swelled more than I expected in the stomach. During the day I was having no foaming issues, mostly drank shakes, protein fruit drinks, and warm protein beef broth. I could eat more with a bit of stomach stretching over time, the foamies disappeared. Your Dr may have some ideas about your condition, best to give them a call.
