When I have eaten to much....since post op 3 months



Recommended Posts

Hello BP friends,

I wanted to know if anyone has experienced the eaten to much syndrome. I learned early on with a bad experience about eating and drinking liquids at the same time. I was at a wedding several weeks post op and I was hungry and at quite a few hor dorvs and at dinner time at the reception, I threw up.

Since that time I read we are not suppose to eat solids and drink at the same time, one or the other.

Also I noticed when I am full or my sleeve is full which I can only ever eat half, half, half, if that of any plate, my nose starts to run like crazy. Anyone experienced that?

My stomach starts to hurt, has anyone wisdom on this experience?

There are amazing food that I can tolerate others I can not. Like I can tolerate bread, amazing, but not chicken or rice, or spaghetti which use to be my favorites, surprised, surprised, surprised?

All The Best,

Your Friendly Sleever

A runny nose when you have eaten too much is pretty common, as are things like sneezing, hiccups, etc. It's because the food in your tiny stomach is pressing against and irritating the vagus nerve, which controls a lot of those involuntary upper-body type functions.

The NP at my surgeon's office stressed that having a runny nose or hiccups or anything like that doesn't mean you've eaten enough and should stop. It means you have eaten too much and should be careful to eat less of that type of food the next time!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
