Question:
Does anyone sneeze when they have gotten too full/sick?
I notice that every time I get what I call "the frothies", you know, when you've eaten too much or too fast or didn't chew well enough and foamy spit starts to develop, when this happens, I also start having a sneezing fit!!! It happens every time so I know it is a symptom from WLS. I read a recent post on runny noses, maybe this is along the same line??? Lisa G — saltybichon (posted on April 13, 2004)

Probably. Sneezes, hiccups and runny noses all seem to be symptoms or side
effects of being full or too full. I get sniffles and hiccups.

long. I to sneeze, when I get to full. It is the weirdest thing, So glad to

No sneezing, but I do either get the hiccups or I go into a yawning spat
for about 20 minutes. Mostly hiccups, tho...it's so weird, isn't it?

VERY< VERY common side effect. I have done it for years byt before wls
it was because of a partial blockage i had. Now it is because the pouch is
too full and the food backs up

I sneeze, hiccup, and get the foamy crap, the only time I get really tired
is from anything sugary!!! and then I get dizzy too, so I stay away from
sugar !!!

I have uncontrollable sneezing. I'm sitting here now fighting the urge to
sneeze. I stopped one bite shy of the sneeze attack. I had the foamies
about week 6 or 7 and now don't really have a problem with that. I hope it
get's better with time, but for now it is a good warning signal.

I am 4 years post-op, and still sneeze when I've had enough to eat. Early
on I asked my surgeon about it. He had never heard of it back then. I hope
I remember next time I see him I remember to ask him if others have this
symptom. All he cared about was that my body told me to stop eating in any
way!! I'm recovering from hernia repair, and TT right now. I stop eating
before I get that much in so I don't sneeze! I can't watch funny, or sad TV
right now either. Good Luck --

Yes, I sneeze several times when I have eaten too much. I have done this
since about the 3rd month.

I'm so glad you asked that question - I am totally a yawner and my nose
runs right after I have eaten. I feel so bad - when I eat lunch with my
friends and I can't stop yawning - I just wish I could put my head down for
10 minutes and take a nap - but instead I just keep apologizing and
reassuring my friends it's not the company!! ha.
