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?

Check out this page. I knew I had read something about this before!

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.

Thank you, Everyone! I felt like some sort of medical anomaly.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
