Question:
hiccups/foaming

I just had another adjustment, post op 31 pounds. But this time I have a lot of saliva, and my protien food will not go down as easy. On a positive note I feel full longer. Any suggestions on better food choices    — savoy7658 (posted on November 17, 2008)

Foaming will eventually stop; that's the good news. The bad news there is no way of telling when. What I used to do was make chicken boullion and let it cool. Try what works for you. lukewarm worked for me, and stopped the foaming. Cold never worked for me, but everyone is different. Is there something particular that starts the foaming? Keep a Journal to see if it is a combo of meals also. You can switch up to protein shakes, if you can keep them down; and let your Doctor know if you drop a source of protein and add another.

How many days after your fill has it been? If it is just a couple of days, perhaps you are just swollen a little from the adjustment and it will get better. If it continues and you have a problem with getting the protein down, you may need to get a little bit of an unfill. In the meantime, hot tea or hot coffee will help to open the stoma a little before eating. Take it easy and continue to focus on protein, good luck. Dawn Vickers, RN, BLC, CLC
