It's after you eat and feel like you need to vomit, however the only thing that comes up is a lot of saliva and foam; thus foamies....  When I get them the retching is usually horrible... haven't had them in a long time.

Hope this helps, and hope you don't have them!!!

Ohhh...I though "foamies" were that horrid foaming feeling in my gut.  I haven't had the "pleasure" of the saliva thing yet.  Yikes!

 I am a PRO and foamies.  In fact it is the only thing I vomit.  I am still having it a few times a week but the worse is when my vitamins cause it and then the foam/saliva tastes like dissolved vitamins - yuck!  The only saving grace with foamies is that for the most part it doesn't have a horrid taste like traditional vomit.

Sorry you get sick so much...that sounds baaad.   I went through a puke-o-rama phase.  Not fun.

Okay, I feel silly. I was thinking foamies were the insoles I wear in my shoes because my feet hurt so often! 
   Not looking forward to this experience...any tips on what I can do to prevent? My RNY is on 2/9/09.

Thanks,
Kathy

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

The foamies are horrible, you cannot swallow it you have to spit it out.  You can try and vomit, but the foamies won't let you.  It will pass after about 9 months.
