I was at a support meeting this weekend. There were about 3 woman there that have lost over 100 pounds. I thought it was interesting that they all said that they notice their noses running when they are full.

You guys are great... dbf and I had this discussion last night.... (I'm trying to educate HIM, as I learn things) He looked at me like I was crazy... (boy oh boy is HE in for a ride!)

My nose runs when I am a little too full. It comes after my more subtle reminders. It's a physical and visual reminder to stop eating.

Like Fauxnaif, if my nose is running, I've gone past the "stop" and into "uh oh" territory.

The hiccups are for me the "you are on the verge but I'm TRYING to get it down" place. Pre runny nose.

Just my experience...your mileage may vary.

I will now look for the signs of a cold when I've eaten too much:hungry: :sick

For me a runny nose means stop, hiccups mean I have gone to far and PB is not far behind. I try to stop before the runny nose It doesn't always work.

It's all so weird. I've never had a soft stop. BUT, if I'm stuck, and I hiccup followed closely by a burp, it means ALL CLEAR.

It's all very weird to me The worst is when the food I ate today with no problems is a HUGE problem tomorrow. It is so frustrating.

My dad had gastric bypass and lost 130 lbs. It's true my dads nose runs every time at the end of meals. I never connected it until you posted it.

Strange, does it work for us bandsters? I'll be paying attention from now on.

That's funny about the loud hiccup thing,Susan. I'm sure not when you are out dining. I get the real sliming feeling then starts to hurt . TIME TO STOP! My 2nd fill really started the band working for me. I'M really glad I am banded. I lost 5 lbs more in a month which is slow. I went on a 7 day cruise 3 weeks ago and still lost. So i'm down 19lbs since nov. slow but sure. That's the way to lose, right!?

Well Hi all I ahven been on since before Thanksgiving and my 1st fill, well I just ahd my 2nd fill on thursday and boy oh boy my mouth/lips are so dry I cant drink anything more than a cap full of water at a time he tweeked it alot this time. I just got the runny nose thing yesterday in fact and I thought oh know another cold... but the hiccup thing and slimmy salivia OH boy yep get that. for sone reason after my 1st fill which he put in 1.5 cc's I ate more but got stuck sooner.. but when I did my swallow test the other day he said I was flowing like I never had a fill? so he put in 1.3cc's more so I would assume I have 2.8 cc's in the band which I ahve a 4cc band. so me and my runny nose better loose a little more now. I am down 53 pounds and banded since 8/11/06 and my G/F hadit done at the same time she has no fill and is down 77 she have NEVER cheated I on the other hand am human and at times weak. she started out 30 more than me and we are about the same now how weird.

Sounds like your band needs some liqued removed. I think you are doing great with your weight loss. That's alot of pounds of butter. Try not compare yourself with others. Everybody loses differently. I have only lost 19lbs since nov. 06, but I'm thrilled cause I'm not gaining!

Be Proud you are losing yea!!!:clap2:

I get a runny nose but never put two and two together. It seems like I belch more now than I ever have and it comes out when I least expect it, how lady like of me :heh: I have PB'd a few times and it's not what I ever want to do again, but like Roiansmom said that food I eat today and have no problem with I might tomorrow. For me I really thinks its how fast I eat and to big of bites.:hungry:
