Foamies!!

This doesn’t even sound fun, does it.  But the Foamies are very real.  This is what happens when as a bariatric patient you eat too much food and your body has no clue what to do.

Stomach creates foam (your stomach becomes blocked and the bodies natural response is to produce a slimy foam liquid) and it starts to bubble up.  Yes just like champagne bubbles up and out,  foamies do the same bloody thing.  Imagine my surprise when this happened on Sunday.

I went to see Ford vs Ferrari.  I had breakfast,  but didn’t really think about my snack or lunch and I knew I wasn’t going to eat anything at the cinema.  When I left I had to run to World Market to pick up some stuff. There I saw some Lime Jalapeno tortilla chips.  I decided to buy them even though I knew I could probably only eat a few.  Well I ate a few and decided they tasted good, so ate a few more and bam, foamies happened.

I had to run to the bathroom till they stopped bubbling out of my mouth.  Yes,  I know this is highly disgusting but this is my reality.  How people over eat when you’re foaming out of your mouth and you’re in pain I have no freaking clue.

So besides foaming,  my stomach hurt.  I did chew the chips, but I guess my tummy was not happy.

No more tortilla chips!!!!
