Anyone else have a runny nose when full?



Recommended Posts

I've experienced the same nose running issue when eating, I always carry a tissue in my pocket now. What a strange thing!

Do any of you sleeve buddies get a runny nose when you eat and get full or nearly get full? Every time I sit down to eat I have to have plenty of napkins handy. After eating about 2-3 oz. my nose begins to run. I do not have allergies and have no cold right now. I just started noticing this about a month ago when I started on more solid foods. I have watched this and realize that it is not just coincidental. It happens every meal that I take in 3-4 oz. of solid food.

Let me hear from you if you are the same. And--can anyone explain this? What does my nose have to do to with my sleeve?

My nose do the same thing I thought it was just me

Oh gosh....and I thought it was just me! My sleeve was almost a year ago....and just tonight I googled "gastric sleeve runny nose" and this came up. I'm glad I'm not alone. Did the same thing regarding the "hicup" issue. Glad I'm not alone there either.

Oh...and now I carry old lady handkerchiefs. :)

No runny noses, but I sneeze like I'm in a hayfield when I get full! It's quite funny, and beats nausea!

Okay - so this explains it all. My runny nose is when I'm full from liquids. A bit more gross for me is when I'm full, I actually have to spit up a lot of mucus. Very disgusting, but is a consistent sign that I'm full. I immediately stop - even if I've only taken a bite or two of whatever. Not sure where it comes from or why, but beats vomiting any day.

I have the same problem. I have allergies and thought that it was that. However I started to notice it was happening when I was eating. I carry tissues with me but I found a better solution. Walmart carries a product called boogie Wipes in their baby section. they are wipes that contain saline. They seem to help and they are gentle on the skin I hope this helps it has really helped me

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
