Sneezing everytime I eat food?



Recommended Posts

Ever since my sleeve on June 11th, everytime I eat food, I get almost an allergic reaction after. I sneeze, my eyes Water, and my nose runs. Anyone else? It's completely weird.

Could be vagus nerve damage. Ask your doctor.

Yep, my full signal is the runny nose and sneezing, too.

If I start sneezing I make a mental note to take one bite less next time.

It definitely happens more when I am full, but happens even when I am not. This morning it was 2 bites of yogurt, and I was sneezing. Maybe I'm eating too fast? Glad to see I am not the only one.

I've started sneezing after surgery a lot, but it's not really related to my eating. It just happens at random times. When I first wake up in the morning, when I'm driving down the road, etc. In fact, I've been sneezing all morning and I haven't had anything to eat yet. I just assumed I'm developing some sort of allergies, but perhaps it's surgery related?

The vagus nerve makes you sneeze, among other things. It can get nicked during surgery. It also gets pressure of it when you are too full.

      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!
