Anyone else have a runny nose when full?

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. :)

I did...But don't anymore

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.

Yup. My nose runs, sometimes I have sneezing fits and hiccups and lotsa burping when full

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
