Sneezing after I eat. A sign?



Recommended Posts

I'm about 7 months out from sleeve surgery and I noticed that sometimes after I eat, I have to sneeze. I don't mean 1 "achoo". I mean repeatedly sneezing, like 10 or 12 times, over and over. When I get this, I'm full, but I wouldn't say I've overeaten. Only oddity is this sneezing business.

I mean, I KNOW when I've overeaten. There's no mistaking it. I am uncomfortable, almost in pain. I feel like I need to burp, but can't. Sometimes thick saliva/slime comes up or turns to foam. (sorry for the graphics)

Sneezing seems a peculiar reaction to eating and is quite annoying, especially if I'm working in an office environment where people make comments about my jackhammer sneezing or avoid me thinking I'm Typhoid Mary. Besides, my bladder isn't especially fond of repeated sneezing and I cannot trust it. It revolts.

I know a runny nose can be a sign that your full, but to go beyond runny nose to this crazy, repeated sneezing? It just seems weird and really, I could do without it.

Anybody else have this?

So, no sneezing. But I will say that in my late 30s I realized that I had developed a gross throat-clearing problem when full. Now, my hopes that it would fade away after sleeve were not to be. But, happily, I was able to identify the cause (sugar and lots of it!).

OTOH, my cousin had a sleeve first (later changed to DS after gaining a ton of lbs in grad school) and now swears that her body signals over feeding when her left ear turns red and becomes hot and itchy.

I hate the runny nose thing. It seems so odd. I eat so slowly now because I can't stand that one bite too many feeling. Never heard of sneezing but it kind of makes sense.

I have not experienced it, but my NUT says sneezing and hiccups are a sign of fullness.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
