runny nose

[delo 1]

I was wondering if your nose is supposed to run if you are full? I don't have a cold, but about a minute or two after eating I get a runny nose.

a runny nose is my 'soft stop', it is my body's way to tell me to stop.

Yep, runny nose is a very common soft stop. Be glad you have it, it should have make life a little bit easier.

thanks, everyone. I thought it had to do with a sense of being full. the only problem is I get hungry about an hour later, maybe it's boredom.

I have always had the runny stopped up nose when I got full; until I got the band. I don't get it anymore. Now I hiccup - which means STOP NOW!!!! I sure wish I could get a softer stop with a little more warning

delo,

try a tad more fat and up your Protein. both should help with the hunger.

losing, you're right about the Protein, I didn't do too good in that area on my blood tests last month. I am trying Protein Bars between meals, makes my stomach growl and gaseous, probably the sugar alcohols?

[losingjusme 12]

delo,

it could be. which bars are you eating?

[delo 1]

losing, it is Met-Rx Protein plus bars, it has 32 grams of protein and only 3 gm of sugar, but it is 300 calories, do I need to look for a different one?

[losingjusme 12]

it wouldnt hurt. 300 cals for a snack is kind of high unless you are doing some major cardio / strength training.

Yes, a runny nose can indicate good restriction. Same thing with a hiccup.

That is my soft spot as well. I also feel a little congested and cough a bit. I lost it for awhile but after getting my first fill it came back.

My soft spot was a runny nose and a sneeze...but that was when I was too tight. I had a slight unfeel and now I don't have the "trigger"....

I have started eating Carb Conscious Supreme Protein Bars...they are DEE LISH US!!! They are big, so I eat 1/2 for Breakfast with an Activia yogurt and 1/2 for lunch...they are 300 calories and 4g sugar--so rather than a snack--it's a Meal Replacement for me...If you like chocolate and carmel..this is the one for YOU!!!!
