Unintended Effects of Surgery

I had my surgery about 5 months ago and have developed a funny little quirk since then. Whenever I eat and get full, I start sneezing! I suspect that some nerve that runs from my stomach up my throat into my nasal passages must get agitated when my stomach is stretched. It's actually kind of funny how my family knows that I'm full whenever I start having sneezing fits after eating. Does anyone else experience this or any other quirks since your surgery?

Oh man. I would give my teeth to burp like a sailor! I get painful hiccups when I overdo it.

Sneezes or a running nose is typical

If you're full! It doesn't happen very often after 1 or 2 years

LOL thats funny. I have a couple of 'tells' also. After Ive eaten an ounce or so I have a tiny burp and that means that I probably only have room for one more bite so after I eat that bite I get really loud hiccups (they crack my husband up). So once I burp my hubby will say "almost to capacity" then when I hiccup he will say "She's FULLLLLLLLLL!" like you would yell GOAL at a soccer game. He's goofy. I actually love having a signal cause there is no guessing involved, just a loud hiccup that makes people giggle.

My kids do the same thing for me too. Its a game for them.

I'm over a year out and I may hiccup BUT my nose always starts to run. Now I know not another bite or I will be dick! Try to judge it and stop eating before my nose runs.

Should be or I will be sick!
