Does anyone else sneeze when they are full? My sinuses get stuffed up and I sneeze 5-6 times whenever I get full. It's beats throwing up!! But it's hysterical when my little 3 yo granddaughter keeps saying "Bless you, Gramma" over and over again!!! I am 15 months out and at my goal wt. the sneezing just started about 3 months ago.

hehehe, you have a polite granddaughter!

With me it's little burps...

I don't sneeze but I get a runny nose. Sometimes the hiccups. I think these are both common reactions even though they seem strange . . . someone posted that because of our new small stomachs, food fills it up and presses on the vagus nerve, which can cause things like sneezing or a runny nose when it is irritated.

I sneeze when I get completely full, I usually try to stop eating when my nose starts to run so as not to get to that point.

Yup if I'm full to the gills I sneeze. For me sneezing is a sign that I should have stopped a bite ago. For others it is their queue that they are full. I'm almost five months out and been sneezing when overfull since I started pureed foods.

My nose runs (it was the same when I was banded at first). Interesting that it's caused by pressure on the vagus nerve - I'd always wondered!

When I am full my nose runs and I get a little air burp. I have heard of a lot of people sneezing when full.

Well, I am paying closer attention to when my nose starts to congest, I stop eating the minute I think I feel this and I no longer sneeze!! Thanks everyone for your input

So funny to hear that......when I had my band and i was full I would sneeze like crazy and my daughter would say "time to stop eating".....I don't have my sleeve yet (aug 29) so I wonder if I'll do the same thing.....

The Vagus nerve, really? Good to know! I don't sneeze from fullness, I sneeze from gluten, but my full-cue is the stuffed then runny nose. So, is it the food pressing on the Vagus nerve?

Ah ha...glad to know im not the only one this happens to

Me too !!! When I am full I start sneezing sometimes 6-10 times! Can be embarrassing .
