I wonder why?

Johimbe · Sep 10, 2023

I wonder why, 3+-month post bypass surgery, my head completely fills up and I have a sneezing fit, runny nose whenever I eat a solid food meal? I have no problem with yogurt or protein drinks. Just solids. I try to start with protein but it's frustrating when I always know how the movies going to end. I'd almost rather just stick to yogurts and protein drinks, but I know that's not great. Has anyone else had this happen? Thanks for any advice. I am down about 50 pounds in about 15 weeks so I'm super stoked about that!! JB

I don't think anyone has ever found a medical reason for this, but it happens to many people, and not just with solid food. Anyone here know why this happens? Feel free to chime in.

My nose always runs when I’m full

They say it is a sign that you are full if your nose runs. or if you overeat it runs also. When your nose runs, it can trigger a sneeze.

It has something to do with stimulation of the vagus nerve, which affects a LOT of stuff.

I have the same reaction (runny nose) and I'm 8 months post surgery.

I am going to start looking for this. I sometimes have it but didn't know it could be related since the seasons are changing, and everyone gets sneezy right now where i live.

I never realized this but my nose runs too when I'm too full. Interesting!
