Hen did u start with Protein and how did it feel? My nose runs when I'm full is this normal?

Totally normal

It's your vagus nerve being stimulated to let you know that your little sleeve has had its fill. This can also present itself as hiccups and sneezing! It wears off after a while. I still get hiccups, so I'm good with that. Its like my little cue.

As for Protein, endeavor to try and get it in as soon as you are able - when on clear fluids, try and get some Isopure clear or something similar to it which has Protein in it. When on full liquids, you can progress to the 'milky' Protein shakes, yoghurty type stuff.. Even milk...

Wishing you a very happy and speedy recovery

Runny nose...yep, normal. My wife and I thought we were nuts (Well, she is nuts, but I digress! ), but upon checking it out on this site and talking to others, found it is a common sleeve side effect.

Hang on, you're in for one heck of a journey! Godspeed for a quick recovery.

Even before surgery our stomach gave us clues that we were full. We just chose to not listen. Some people would move uncomfortably in their chair or deep breath or pausing....but with our sleeve there are new and ex citing ways that we are being told enough.

We all know that if you don't listen, pain will follow and possibly throwing up...Isn't the sleeve grand!
