Hiccups are what is called a "soft stop". It's a sign you need to learn to watch for.

It's the sign that you should stop eating, For some people it's a hiccup, for some it's a sigh, for me it's a burp/hiccup combo.

Just means your band is doing its job of reminding you. Of course, you can keep eating, but just because you can, doesn't mean you should (as is quoted on here quite often).

Your band is telling you to stop. Continue at your own risk. My experience has been stuck, PB or slime when I try to push past it. Good luck!

What does it mean when you hiccup but still can eat more? It's so confusing. If I am able to eat more than 1 cup I assume not in the green zone . But I have episodes of getting.stuck often and then I think I'm too tight.

Just because you can eat more doesn't mean you should. The band's job is not to physically stop you from eating anything. Portion Control and good food choices will always be your job.

I know Portion Control is my job but so many people post that they cannot physically eat more than a few spoonfuls. Is that being too tight?

If you can't eat enough healthy food to sustain, then yes it would be too tight.

Sometimes when people say they "can't" eat more than a couple bites they don't always mean it's physically impossible to eat more but rather they simply don't need or want more. They're satisfied on very little food.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
