I was thinking the same thing when I got sleeved. Hiccups SUCKED! But once the swelling goes down and you start to heal, the hiccups subside.

finally someone who understands! I know it isn't acid. And everyone is saying the same thing to me. I guess that is my only option, but honestly, it's making me regret this whole thing...

The problem is that I'm still hungry. I can't get rid of the hunger. I guess it is still healing... but I feel starved. No matter how much I eat.

Hey all, I'm Bree. I had my surgery on Feb. 7. I'm 22, 5'7". I started at 247, and a week out, I am 232. My surgeon had me on Clear liquids for the first week, and every week I advance. I'm on full liquids now, then pureed, then soft, then regular foods. The clear diet was terrible. I was so hungry but felt like I shouldn't be eating as much so I would stop myself. I had the worst stomach cramps. The kind you get when you are severely hungry. They actually hurt! So on my followup appointment, I brought it to my surgeons attention, and he switched me a day early to full liquids and said that would help, and so far, it has. The problem now is that I feel like I'm eating too much. I haven't felt full yet. I am just eating creamed Soups and pudding and things like that that I am allowed. I do not want those stomach cramps again. I have started Multivitamins and some optisource Protein shakes. I'm just not feeling full and its bothering me. I can eat a whole can of cream of chicken Soup and still want more. Help?

If anything is used in antifreeze, its not going in my body. End of story.

I felt like the clear liquids weren't giving my stomach something to do. So when I had some cream of chicken and pudding, I feel like my sleeve was like 'Yes! WORK!' Haha!

Mio is the absolute worst thing you can put in your water. Its actually antifreeze and has to be shipped to stores via haz-mat trucks. Chemicals in it are terrible! Just a heads up!

Nope. Doc told me that with my switch to full liquids that they would begin to go away. I started full liquids last night and they really have subsided. Still get one every once in a while but hey, I just had 85% of my stomach removed. It can be expected.

After giving myself some full liquids, the spasms have subsided. I'm only just switched to full liquids this afternoon, and I already notice a difference. As well as I began taking liquid Multivitamins when I came home from my follow up appointment, too. I think they helped as well.

Sleeved on February 7th! Had my first follow up appointment today and I'm down 15 pounds. Woot! Worst complaint is stomach spasms. No other problems!

My doctor even asked me why I wasn't nervous or anything. I like to take things a day at a time. No use in getting worked up over something I can't control. I know I wanted the surgery, and I know I want to be skinny. Whatever I have to do in between then, I do. Not sounding cocky, but that's pretty much how I handle everything. And as a newly-sleeved as of the 7th, I can honestly say thay there is nothing to be worried about! Enjoy!

I have the same exact problem. I'm hoping switching from clear liquids to full liquids this week helps. But jeesh! My stomach was cramping and spasming so much! It literally hurt!

I'm having Dr. Attia do my surgery, too! He is such a good doc!

I can't tell you how much more excited you just made me to get this surgery done. I am about your starting weight. A little more, actually. I cannot wait to look as good as you! Great job!

It took me about ten minutes to make up my mind. For years I thought 22 was way too young. I thought I had to wait til 30 at least! But with the constant struggle of weight issues, plus the diagnosis of needing a disc fusion surgery in my back at 22 years old, I was sold when the doctor even brought up the idea. Plus, my mom had the lap band about 2-3 years ago and did great. And they say getting sleeved is so much easier and less side effects. I didn't take long at all to decide.

My situation is almost the same as yours. Except for the fact that instead of my boyfriend of 3 years, its my dad of 22 years. He is absolutely against me having this surgery and wishes that I could just 'work' the weight off. He thinks I'm cheating by having this surgery. I have severe back problems which is why I'm having the surgery done. In hopes that it will relieve the strain on my back. I keep telling myself that this is for me. Nobody else. I want to improve my way of life. Plus, I don't want to be one of those ladies riding around Wal-Mart because I'm too fat to walk to get the groceries I need. That is my self motivation. Do it for you. If he loves you for you, he will stay and realize that you're doing this for your own good. If he leaves, let him leave. With the way you'll look, I don't think you'll worry about him walking out! Good luck, love!
