Help! Cant stop sneezing

[BackToHot 59]

Every time I eat I start sneezing before I'm done with the food. It's every meal. Is my body trying to tell me something? Really, it's very annoying. I'm not talking about one discreet sneeze. Sometimes 8-12 huge sneezes that I have to close my legs to hold my pee. Is that normal? It's just me??? When I'm home it's kinda ok, but it happens everywhere, anytime. I was sleeved 5 weeks ago, doing great otherwise. ; )

Nope, you are not alone! I've experienced the same thing since the beginning (4 years ago!) Once I eat to where food hits a "certain spot" (I dont know how else to describe it.) then I start sneezing! 8-9 times! That's my "I know I'm full" signal. Sometimes earlier (less food) than other times depending on type of food.

My Nut told us that when you are full your body try's to tell you your full in different ways, including sneezing. You may be full and you just don't know it. )

sneezing before I'm done with the food.

if sneezing is your only problem, GET OVER IT!!!

sneezing might be alittle annoying - but its telling you that the sleeve is working with you

many, many people sneeze when they are approaching or are full

this is a sign "from above" telling you to stop eating!!

other people (me) will hiccup LOUDLY (did you hear me last night?? )

i'm 2.5 years PO and it sometimes still happens to me (not often)

pre-op my doc told me to eat til i'm full, but stop 2 bites earlier!!

glad things are going so well

keep up the great work like i know you are

good luck

Your sleeve is telling you that you ate too much. The food is so crammed into your stomach that the vagus nerve is being irritated. When you have eaten so much that you sneeze, make note of how much you ate and next time make sure you eat less than that. Keep repeating until you find out how much you can eat without irritating the vagus nerve.

agree with above- its your vagal/vagus nerve. tricky little thing that nerve! you are stimulating it too much.
