    Angry GROSS: The "spit" factor

    What is this? I can't seem to get rid of all this spit! It fills up my pouch, and I have to vomit to get rid of it. Even carrying a spit cup. If I eat, my mouth immediately starts to produce saliva. 4-5 spoons of food, and too much saliva (not that it would have stopped me but nobody said ANYTHING about a spit cup) and I vomit... Mostly spit. Drinking seems ok, it thins the saliva some. Please tell me this goes away!!?

    This only happens to me when I've eaten too much. Make sure you are paying attention to the signal your body gives when you've eaten too much.

    I would try a good ant-acid. I found after three weeks I was constantly getting sick and it was just a slime. I couldn't keep water down. I went and got a good ant-acid and it made the world of difference. The other morning I forgot to take it and I couldn't keep water down. That might be what is causing yours.

    Excellent advice. Doc told me to take antacids but I wasn't feeling acidy so I didn't. I will try thay. Thanks.

    Same to me, now it only happens when I have eaten too much, and usually too fast.
    If you had surgery just 3 weeks ago could it be you are not yet able to understand when you had enough food? Portions are tiny at the very beginnig and it is easy to overeat...

    Agree with what everyone else said....antacid, don't eat too fast or too much. It does get better.
