Post nasal drip

Can someone tell me why when I eat my nose starts running?? It's very annoying I wish it would stop. There's a lot of things that are annoying but worth it.

Your nose drips, because your vagus nerve has been stimulated through the action of eating.

If you sneeze, get hiccups, your nose drips, it is generally an indicator that you have eaten enough and you should stop.

Don't fear, it won't last for too long. Mine went at about the 6 week mark, I think.

A few people have weird reactions to eating/being full. I hiccup, some people sneeze, some people's nose runs. It's something to do with the VAGUS nerve. It is somehow irritated by food in your belly. I don't know if there is anything to cure it, but that's how my surgeon explains it. If you research VAGUS NERVE and WLS or VSG you'll find tons of people with weird symptoms like yours.
