Runny Nose?

[Myonlybattle 65]

This is a weird one but I'm throwing it out there . . . I was sleeved 5 days ago and from the moment I left the recovery room I've had a recurring runny nose. I wouldn't say it's constant, but definitely is there the majority of my day. I'm have never been one to carry tissues around - but now, I seem to need them all day long. Is this normal? Temporary? Anyone else have this quirky little side effect? TIA

I get a runny noise every time I'm full!! It's weird I don't why there is a connection but it is ! I was sleeved in April and have read where others have the same side effect .

Same here, it's an odd side affect!

Wow, thanks guys. I've been paying attention ever since I saw your replies and I think that is it! It doesn't run at night but from the moment I start taking in all the dreaded liquid/protein shakes in the morning it starts up. Yesterday I took my son to his Tae Kwon Do class and forgot my Water and that was the only time it didn't run. This could be a good thing maybe? I'd love to have a signal of when to stop eating in the future, that's one of my biggest worries is that I won't know when to stop!

Yup. Runny nose when I'm full. Some people hiccup, some sneeze, many have a runny nose. Try a sip or two less than normal (it's a very good idea to measure everything until you can eyeball your capacity) to prevent the nose running.

Yep I agree I never had a running nose now I know when to stop eating when I feel my nose starting to run.

It's because of irritation to/pressure on your vagus nerve, which controls involuntary reactions in the upper half of the body like a runny nose or hiccups. It runs along the top of the stomach, and with a new tiny stomach, anything going into it can set off the vagus nerve. Also, sometimes it just gets irritated/inflamed due to all the swelling and trauma to the stomach due to surgery.
