I am having the hardest time. I am on Week 3 going into Week 4. It feels like I have something constantly stuck in my throat. I have the foamy spits. In addition this horrible stuff comes up into my mouth and I am brushing my teeth all the time. I try eating soft foods aND I am tired of protein shakes to the point that I gag. I have been throwing up too. I am constantly crying. Can someone please help me

Not sure I can help but I can share what I did. I felt just like you. I used ice pops (sugar free) to make my mouth feel better. Lemon flavour worked good for me and did seem to help with the whole fuzzy mouth feeling. I then tried Tuna mashed with mayo just one spoon at a time and after about 3 days I felt a little better. It will improve just looked at my diary and and I wanted to die. But it will pass. Good luck hope you feel better soon. Big Hugs x

Talk to your PCP about acid reflux, this could be the nasty stuff your spitting up and can be the cause of the foamies. Also are you trying different temperatures of food or drinks. Your sleeve maybe want just cold or hot.

Good luck & Merry Christmas

Too much, too soon and too fast. Take a step back and slow down. Seriously.

Try the above, but I will put in my 2 cents. Popsicles helped me a lot too. There are also sugar free hard candies that help. Just remember to limit them, because they can cause stomach cramps from the artificial sweetener...for me anyway. Ask your dietician what you can do in the way of diet to keep the bad taste in your mouth under control. I too got totally sickened by the shakes. I can drink them again and they taste good. I add half a banana and some pineapple. It seems early for you to do that though, so don't do it without checking first. Bullion cubes helped me too. It's much better than canned broth. I too brushed my teeth a lot and gargled.

I agree with Babydoll that you might not be ready for soft foods. Definitely call the dietician. Good luck
