Why am I doing this? I don't even feel close to full but almost every time I take a breath, I cough. I didn't eat fast either. I am 3 1/2 weeks post op.

We maybe doing this b/c you are full, its a different full after being banded. You will no longer get the stuffed full feeling you're used to.

Cough, sneeze, hiccup, sigh ,(me) pain in shoulder can all signal you are full.

Sounds like a full signal to me. And I mean lap band full not pre-lapband full! I always stop at the early signal... gets really ugly after that!

From time to time I get the coughing and its one of the signs for me I've had enough. It's odd sometimes I get a runny nose other times its the coughing.

Weird cause I have had the runny nose thing, too. It is just so daunting cause this is happening and I am still hungry. And it isn't head hunger it's definitely stomach hunger. :-(

Yes jersey I get the runny nose at times half way through my meal whilst I'm still hungry, this little tool can be moody at times.

My nurse told that coughing is generally a sign that your band may be too tight as well as the hiccuping I used to get hiccups as a soft stop then I had .25 cc out of my band and I actually burp not lol no more hiccuping

My does the same thing something about pressure and nerve endings being close to the band it's a normal sign " hard stop" that means your past full and you've eaten too much I usually lay down when it happens ( if I gave that convenience) and it goes away quicker just make sure you have a couple soft pillows behind your shoulders.

If it doesn't stop you should see your doc.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
