I thought I read a post some time ago about someone having sneezing attacks after eating just a little too much but could not find it through a search. Anyway, at the time I thought they were nuts.

Fast forward to being nearly 6 months post op (back in February) and I am able to eat anything I want. I noticed, and it is recognized by my wife and coworkers as well, that when I slightly over eat solid/heavy foods like chicken, I will get a sneezing attack. I know, you think I am crazy but I can tell before I sneeze that I have eaten a little too much because it is a pressure point that I can feel. It is almost like a switch that tells me "Hey idiot, stop eating".... I know the attack is coming and it results in about 10-20 sneezes unless I can move around enough to allow the food to settle differently.

It is the craziest thing and I was so skeptical of the other poster who said that it happened to them, at least until it happened to me. It is now a tell tale sign that I ate just a little too much and it pushes on a pressure point that triggers it. I am almost 1 year out and I now have a built in "full meter" with my sneezing attacks.

Anyone else experience this?

I haven't been sleeved yet, but I work with a woman who had a bypass surgery about 5 years ago and she has the sneezing thing. For her, it's not multiple sneezes, but moreso 1 to 2. That's how she knows to stop eating. It's crazy, but apparently it works.

My husband sneezes after he eats most of the time. He never had WLS. We assume he is allergic to something. I had hoped this topic would give me a clue.

My husband is 15months post op and always sneezes when he overeats. Even when he senses it coming he will eat that one extra bite that sends him into a sneezing frenzy. Another person I know who had GBS she hiccups when she overeats. Our bodies have some funny little sensors!

I don't remember which one, but one of the WLS memoir books I read during the past few months, the author said she knew when to stop eating b/c her nose would start running!

Haha, that is funny, I am the same way. I know when it will happen and sometimes I push it to that last bite that I am sure causes it. Like I said, it is like a switch and I can feel when that last bite flips it!

When I overeat a little my stomach lets out a loud belch and If I continue to eat I get three hiccups and my nose will start to run. It's weird but it lets me know when I am full.

So glad you posted this .....The problem is is that for me...It happens when I take a couple of bites of my meal....I start to sneeze and then my nose starts to run like a tap....I keep Kleenexes handy by my plate at all times...Very attractive!!!!!!!

It happened today at lunch and my husband shrugged his shoulders and looked at me and said...I have no idea why...And I replied me too....

I always seek to be different.....

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
