"First Bite Syndrome" ???

I can only hope that the horrible hiccups will decrease as time goes on.

I also have problems, but after the second bite. And I also get the loud embarrassing hiccups. I think that I need to wait longer between the first few bites. For me, it is not a matter of the bites being too big or not chewed well enough, it is because I do not wait long enough between bites. Once the first few bits go down I am fine for the rest of the meal.

Learning to eat as a bandster is quite an experience.

I have been banded three years and i have to say that the hiccups have gotten better with time. My BIL used to laugh everytime i had those loud screeching hiccups. So we would all crack up about it. But now i never have them too much. Either that or i have learned how to control them. I dunno. I do still get 'deep' hiccups, just with out the sound effects. lol

I am so glad i have discovered this board. I have had a little set back with my band (my own stupidity) I had my band loosened and i gained 35 pounds so now i am starting over. But i am having a blast being able to read with other people with the band are experiencing. It keeps me pumped and motivated!!! It is nice to read some things and be like that is EXACTLY what i have!!! No one IRL understands!! lol

thank ya'll
