Runny nose, sneezing, burping after eating...

So pretty much every time I eat I get full quick from a small amount. That's what the surgery does. But I am also very uncomfortable, my nose starts to run uncontrollably , I start sneezing over and over again while nose is running , and then burp many times of the course of like 15 minutes. This happen to anyone else.

Thx

My hubby is getting the same thing. He will be 3 weeks post op on Friday. Surgery date was 4/10.

I would suggest eating like 2 bites less with each meal. I wonder if your body is telling you that you are eating too much or too fast.

Sometimes I get a runny nose and / or hiccups as a full signal. The doc looked at me like I was crazy when I asked about it, but it seems like too many people get it to be a coincidence.

But hey, at least I don't have to fully rely on my greedy and somewhat unreliable tummy anymore :)

Fifteen months post-op, I still get all of that. Most frequently, Miss Tummy communicates through hiccups. That is my warning She is saying, "I double dog dare you to eat that last bite"

Yep, hiccups and runny nose for me but only if I eat too much. That's my sign to STOP.

At least I am not alone. I do think I eat to fast. Sad part is I am hardly eating anything. My wife who has lost over 100 lbs since December can eat almost double than me and also drink fluids at the same time to wash things down. I cannot drink and eat and eat less. She had the bypass. I thought it would be opposite between the 2 surgeries as I heard the bypass was more restrictive.

I read the runny nose is a result of the vagus nerve being moved when taking the stomach out. Since my surgery I have had a runny nose. But if I start burping I have to stop eating, or I will wind up with the hiccups -- also have that when I eat too fast.

Almost 3 weeks out and getting a runny nose and will sneeze most of the time when I'm full. Thought I was losing it until I confirmed with my NUT yesterday that said he has heard quite abit about this. Thank goodness the pain is almost gone...sneezing HURTS for the first couple weeks!

..sneezing HURTS for the first couple weeks!

Those hiccups are pretty uncomfortable too!!

I am 8 days post op and I sneeze if I eat too much.

LOL ...:D

Same happens to me but in particular season of fall in February when the winter ends and summer start.

I always feel sneezing and in fact, start sneezing before lunchtime when body clock throw alert and gallbladder start releasing acid in the lever which starts producing gases. When the gas increased and start moving upward for burping, I feel like it creates little pressure irritation in nose and trigger sneezing. It is really crazy and uncomfortable feeling as eyes start tearing and runny nose for at least a minute. After burping, everything looks normal like nothing happened.

The same cycle continues after lunch or dinner till food is digested and stop creating gases.

Many people say that this is due to pollen in the atmosphere or body's internal system preparing for coming days of summer.

What medical science says about this? any doctor, please comment.
