Ugh! I keep getting them, a million times a day! Anyone else experience this? I'm a week post op, and the last few days they just keep coming!

I still get them wayyyy more than I'd like, not everyday, but probably at least 4 times per week. It is an annoying side affect. I am not sure how to not get them anymore. Hopefully someone here can give some good advice that I can listen too also.

yes, i get them (i call them baby hiccups)

its a sign (to me) that i am full and its time for me to stop eating

(also a sign to slow down eating or the bite was too big)

dont know if this helped :)

I get them also it is usually a sigh that I should stop eatting. Although they can be annoying think in the positive. These hiccups are helping us to eat less and lose weight.

I only get them when I eat too fast so as time goes by I am learning to slow down and I am getting them much less

I'm about 6 weeks out and I usually get about 3-4 hiccups and I know I'm done eating, I kind of like the signal, usually right before my 1/3 cup is eaten...

I'm 8 days post-op and yep I get them a lot! I've recognised it's when I've slightly overdone it and am full but my god it's painful when my insides are still so tender!

Try eating more slowly, take smaller bites, and pre-measure your portions. Hiccups are one of the ways I know I have overeaten.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
