Help! Cant stop sneezing



Recommended Posts

Every time I eat I start sneezing before I'm done with the food. It's every meal. Is my body trying to tell me something? Really, it's very annoying. I'm not talking about one discreet sneeze. Sometimes 8-12 huge sneezes that I have to close my legs to hold my pee. Is that normal? It's just me??? When I'm home it's kinda ok, but it happens everywhere, anytime. I was sleeved 5 weeks ago, doing great otherwise. ; )

Nope, you are not alone! :) I've experienced the same thing since the beginning (4 years ago!) Once I eat to where food hits a "certain spot" (I dont know how else to describe it.) then I start sneezing! 8-9 times! That's my "I know I'm full" signal. Sometimes earlier (less food) than other times depending on type of food.

My Nut told us that when you are full your body try's to tell you your full in different ways, including sneezing. You may be full and you just don't know it. :))

sneezing before I'm done with the food.

if sneezing is your only problem, GET OVER IT!!! :o :lol:

sneezing might be alittle annoying - but its telling you that the sleeve is working with you :)

many, many people sneeze when they are approaching or are full :o

this is a sign "from above" ;) telling you to stop eating!!

other people (me) will hiccup LOUDLY (did you hear me last night?? :D )

i'm 2.5 years PO and it sometimes still happens to me (not often)

pre-op my doc told me to eat til i'm full, but stop 2 bites earlier!! :lol:

glad things are going so well :)

keep up the great work like i know you are :)

good luck :)

Your sleeve is telling you that you ate too much. The food is so crammed into your stomach that the vagus nerve is being irritated. When you have eaten so much that you sneeze, make note of how much you ate and next time make sure you eat less than that. Keep repeating until you find out how much you can eat without irritating the vagus nerve.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
