What is it and When will it Pass?!

I am 6 weeks post-op. I lost 40 lbs at 4 weeks post-op and hit a plateau for 2 weeks. I haven't weighed since the 9th, but I think I have lost a little more. That was discouraging, but I have another problem I am having difficulty dealing with. Sometimes, immediately after eating, my pouch produces saliva or mucous that refluxes into my mouth - like reverse watering of the mouth. It is very uncomfortable, and usually leads to vomiting. First of the mucous, then of whatever I've eaten. It has happened with foods I have tolerated previously. I chew VERY slowly and consistently. Anyone with any answers would be greatly appreciated!
