So is it just me? I have discovered a little vasovagal response that when I eat a little more than I should, I wanna sneeze...LOL...

Don't laugh..ok..go ahead and laugh but I guess it's better than puking at the table. I am 9 months out and just started having this issue. Not complaining. I just find it interesting...

It is normal for some people, my x-boyfriend had that issue and he never even had WLS, sometimes the after dinner sneezing was just uncontrollable, but hilarious. ;) At the time I had googled it and this was an article that I thought was very helpful - http://www.everydayhealth.com/internal-medicine-specialist/sneezing-after-dinner.aspx

Oh, honey!,, it's been the NORM for me since the beginning ! Once a certain amount of food "hits" a certain spot I begin to sneeze. Usually at least 8-9 TIMES! Yep, always! Drives my husband nuts. Like I can stop it! Lol. And the people keep saying, "Bless you"', "goodness". "Wow". Bahaha

Wow. This is so normal on the lapband board (which I used to frequent before my sleeve revision 11 mths ago) but had no idea it happened so much to sleevers also.

When I was sleeved, if I took 1 bite too much, I would hiccup - just once - to let me know I've had enuf. Now, nuthin. Cept a tummy ache if I take 1 bite too much.

I'm a sneezer! My husband thinks it's hilarious and try's to make me sneeze every time. This is what got me in this mess! First time I sneezed with real food, I wasn't expecting it and had a mouth full of food! It shot out like a cannon! I couldn't stop laughing, sneezing, and trying not to pee all at the same time! I'm a hot mess...but it is still funny! Good times!

Ah, yes, the sneezing, the hiccuping, the burping! I burped a lot when I started on solid food. Sometimes I still do the burping thing, but my new symptom is a really loud and squeaky hiccup. It's really embarrassing when I do it at work. It can be even 20 minutes after I've eaten. All is well, then suddenly... "HIC!" - the hiccuping didn't start until at least month 5 post op. So embarrassing. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
