This happens to me too. It is my signal that i ate too much too fast. When this happens to me i gag myself (i know that sounds bad). I just gag myself until i spit up the last bite or two that i took and they stop. Sometimes ill get them a while after i eat and i think thats if somethings gets stuck passing through the stoma. I bend over and for whatever reason that helps the stuck food pass. I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time as my band that may have something the do with the hiccups since the diaphram is involved with both the hernia and the hiccups. I recommend slowing done your eating and stopping eating as soon as u first feel pressure or that first hiccup. One more bite will set them painfully off.

I get hiccups and I burp a lot more now that I'm banded. It's not just while eating or after eating. However, I don't recommend gagging yourself though...

I get hiccups when I eat too fast. I think I trap air under the food and it does not have time to come back up before the next bite if I am eating too fast. Once I get them, I have to sit without eating or walk around for a while to let that food settle before I can eat any more. If I am really hungry, it can happen on the first bite or two if I swallow fast so it is not a sign I am full. It is painful. :confused:

I often get hiccups when I have the first bite of meat. Other things don't cause them much. They can be embarassing and annoying. They usually don't last over 3 minutes, then pass.

I was wondering what the pain was - so I guess I have been eating to fast. I just got a fill last week and I am not use to having to take teeny bites or taking forever just to eat.

I find I can eat a bit faster after the first bite goes down and is settled. It is the first bite or two for me that make the difference. Once I get get that pain, though, it continues to be tender and I have to eat really slowly the whole meal.

I get them almost every other day. It is my cue drop everything, I've had enough.

They don't last long. Maybe 5 minutes or so.

i get horrible hiccups. like I feel em coming up slowly and they are deep/hard. I dont know why though because I am on all liquids still and theres no way I am eating too much or too fast because I follow the 2 oz every 15 minute rule and i drink slowly and usually am not even able to finish the 2 oz bc the hiccups are just so annoying and painful. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired and was considering maybe that had something to do with it. I hope this isnt a regular thing.

Same here. They are real loud and hurt like crazy. I am off work for the summer, but am worried about going back and having this problem. It is after every meal. I have discovered I usually don't get them after eating mexican. How weird. Anyone have any suggestions????

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
