I have noticed something strange about my eating. I have definite limits that my body apparently has set up for me. When I have had enough at a meal I get the hic-ups. Does this happen to anyone else? I find it very odd and sometimes if I am out with friends it is somewhat embarrassing. Any ideas why this happens and what I can do to avoid this?

New,

That was one of the indicators my doc told me to watch for. For some reason, when our tummy gets full we will hiccup. I do it also, and you are right, it is a bit embarrassing. He also said some get a runny nose and that it was very common with many sleevers.

I too get the hicups. They're very dainty. I love that sign that I'm done.

I hate the hiccups now since we can't drink for 30 minutes after eating. My hiccups are always painful. :tongue_smilie:

They are a great sign that you are done! I kind of like it because I know for sure when to stop.

That's the only true full signal I get now. It can also happen if I talk a lot during my meal.

We were sitting at the dinner table last night and I got a big hiccup (the first one comes up big) and I said to my husband, "I think that's my full signal". I had noticed I get this when I get quite full, so it's nice to hear from others that I was on the right track.

I too gert the hiccups when I'm done. It is annoying not to be able to have a drink to get rid of them, but I quite like them really! xx

Nice dainty hiccups...I wish! I can't stop burping :smile:

I get the huge hiccups definitely not the dainty ones. With the burping you know how the sleeve is kind of shaped like a bananna? When I eat it feels like there is a bunch of air way down at the bottom of the sleeve and like the food piles up on that air and then the air has to sift all the way up to the top. No pain, just a weird feeling. I also sometimes feel like someone is going to hear some of the wild rumbling my stomach makes now! 85% of it is gone and now it is crazy noisy!

I love my hiccups!

I never thought of them as hiccups - definitely burps tho! LOL Hiccups sounds so much nicer.

It is embarrassing when eating with other people. I was afraid at the beginning that they might think I was going to get sick! : )

I've officially started getting the hiccups! I don't mind if I am at home.. But it's not good when I'm out. For reals.

I get them too, and if I even eat 1 more bite after the first hiccup, I have gone too far and pay for it. It's my warning signal.

I want hiccups!! I get nauseated -- I can be in the middle of chewing a bite and get a nauseated feeling and if I get that, I KNOW I better not swallow -- otherwise I will be praying to the porcelain goddess! Hiccups are MUCH daintier!

i just started getting them as well. i still get my sneeze as my full signal, even when i am drinking too fast! but the hic cups started the other night. and talk about tummy rumbles, was at a funeral on Saturday, and my tummy was making so much noise, the people around me were looking at me. My hubby told me he could here it at the other end of the pew! Not that is BAD!!!!
