What does it mean if I’m puking up yellow butter like liquid and retching

Yesterday I was doing a lot of burps but each one tasted like vomit and the more I did the worse they got, this always happened me when I have a bug. But this time it there was no pain. About half way through the day I started to get pains in my stomach but this was after I had been having burps and after I had ate 3 slices of pizza. Later that might (2 am) I started retching and getting sick but only about 1 cup of fluid came out and it looked like melted butter , what happened me

That's bile or stomach acid.  You either have too much acid and have reflux (most likely).  Sometimes if you are very ill with vomiting, you have emptied your stomach and the forceful retching will move bile up and out your mouth.  If you are bloated and in pain also, that's a blockage (and an emergency).  See your doctor for help
