So I was wondering if anyone has the issue of thier nose running after they eat anything. I'm about a week post op from surgery and I'm finding this to be a bit weird.

Yes, it is very normal. You might also see things like hiccuping, burping, or sneezing after eating.

This is because your vagus nerve is irritated after surgery. It runs along the top of your stomach, and it controls involuntary movements/reactions in the top half of your body: things like getting a runny nose, hiccuping, or sneezing. So it is pissed off in general by surgery, and then you make it angrier by pressing food against it, and it flips out and causes weird reactions.

My team taught me to see things like a runny nose as a typical signal that I ate too much. You really shouldn't have so much food in your sleeve that it is mashing up against the top of your stomach where the vagus nerve is closest. So, they taught me that if I get a runny nose after eating, I need to make note of how much I ate, and the next time I eat that type of food, to measure/weigh my food and make sure I eat less. Not everyone does that though, some just take it as a signal that "I ate enough" rather than "I ate too much."

I still have all of that at 12 1/2 years. Usually, it is sneezing six times.

Yes. That is one of the signals that I get that I have eaten too much.

I'm not saying you're not broken...

But I am saying that, in this instance at least, you're probably pretty normal...

I'm a sneezer...

Not often now...

Tho it did get me an absolute beauty after dinner last night...

Snuck up on me...

Anyway, enough about me...

Good luck to you and your active nostrils...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
