Weird s**t your body does (or "I know I ate too much, I need to sneeze.."



Recommended Posts

I thought it was my allergies kicking back up and then I read about a year after my surgery that others do that too. I'll go into sneezing fits and deal with a runny nose. Irritating to say the least

I love it! I can pretend my tummy isn't full but I can't ignore my dripping nose! Clearly self control wasn't a strength for me pre-op. Having a big flashing red light (or in this case, a big dripping red nose) can't be denied.

I'm so glad you started this topic. I finally figured out the sneezing was after I ate. watery eyes, sniffling, the whole thing.

Thought it was allergies. Haven't read all the posts yet. But thanks.

I have a weird hiccup-burp thing I do when my stomach is full. It's a combo of them both at the same time.

If I eat sushi--with a little rice, I am prone to a drippy nose and a bunch of sneezes. Sometimes, I have to lay down.

@@Elode - that's a very good description. I call it a hiccup, but you know, it really is a cross between the two. I never really thought about it that way.

I get this feeling like there is a sideways burp that can't come out.

I don't know why but for some weird reason I think the sneezing is cute. I can now smell fast food a few blocks away in my car and I used to have a very weak sense of smell. I'm drawn to the smell of regular food (well food I cannot eat) but I become overwhelmed like it's just too much for me and my eyes dilate or something I feel something weird happening with them and I have to walk away from it fast.

I like the little symphony of gurgles and noises my stomach makes after drinking fluids. It goes on for quite a while - like air bubbles are rising to the top of a container...

When I am in Colorado (altitudes over 6,000') I wretch if I eat anything starchy. It's odd. I don't have this problem when I'm closer to sea level. It's happened twice, so I'm now very conscious of it. I don't know if its my diaphragm working harder to get air in but it is very real. Feel free to validate my experience flat landers ;-)

And, NO I wasn't smoking anything ;-)

I feel kind of bummed! I don't have any cute sneezes or hiccups or burps or anything like that to tell me I'm done eating. All I get is this feeling that is a little tight between my breasts. Sometimes my tongue feels like it's drawing back and that's it. I also get the cold all the time which is AWESOME because I used to be so hot and sweaty all the time and now I can wear all my cute sweaters and mittens and scarves and it's mostly fine. LOL

Perhaps herein lies the problem. Please repeat the test with the proper Colorado medication and report back. All in the name of science of course.

I am all in favor of the recreational legalization -- No Carbs, No Calories. Once America's women figure this out it will be the law of the land. (Women always get what they want, eventually, I make this statement after working professionally in politics for 30 years). I made sure a friend who is suffering from breast cancer got some and it has proven to be very helpful stuff.

I am in New Mexico right now. We are at 7,000 feet. I am visiting for 6 days keeping the Grandkids. I have had issues eating a lot of thing that I normally don't have issues with. I seriously think it is the altitude. I have no other explanations. I typically have no issues when I am at home.

i live in Colorado at about 6500 ft and I've never noticed a problem, but I haven't been down from our altitude to see what it's like closer to sea level. I have great restriction all the time though. I couldn't overeat if my life depended on it.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
