Does any one else notice that when you eat a little too fast or don't chew well enough you sneeze or need to blow your nose? Is this just me??? Odd!!

I don't get the sneezing or runny nose, mine is hiccups. I have read others on here that do the sneezing bit though.

My nose runs like a faucet after and DURING meals, it always has but seems to be WORSE since the sleeve. TMI ALERT: Extremely watery stuff, not snot per-se.

I posted a long response along these lines somewhere else, but can't remember where. It has to do with stimulation of the vagus nerve (Google it) which for some of us is greater after VSG. Since my surgery, my nose is more runny all the time, not just when I eat too fast or too much. But when I do make that mistake, I have teary eyes, runny nose AND the hiccups. Lucky me!! After 5 months, I am pretty sure this will be the way it is forever, but NO REGRETS!!!!! Kathe

LOL I have been wondering about this--it seems like every time I take a drink for the past few days I sneeze--it has been driving me crazy!!!! I have had the runny nose too--I am having issues with slowing down when I eat and drink--(old habits are hard to break) now I guess I know...
