:clap2: There Yoda i started my own thread.I know it's about time.Does anybody get the hiccups when they eat? I eat slower and still get them,then i slime quite a bit after hiccups. I think this is my sign as i have to quit eating.

:clap2: :clap2:

Yay......you deserved your own thread Loriely!

Yeah, I get the hiccups sometimes during/after I eat. Not always and there seems no rhyme or reason to it. But when I get 'em, boy do I get 'em!!! LOL Very loud...very very very loud!!! LOL Thankfully it has only happened at home.

If I'm honest with myself, I prob get them when I am eating a few bites too fast (or too much at once).

It's good full sign to have though, if that is what it is for you!

How is Mr. Loriely doing?

Hiccups are a sure sign I over indulged. If I eat past the first hiccup, I throw up my excess food. Its not sliming. Its just like the excess food just ejects. Not everybody has this indicator so appreciate it if you do.

Mr Loriely is doing good. He is looking forward to eating puree foods. He fines he slimes eating and drinking all the time since he has been banded.Don't know why.

Tell him to sloooow right down. Maybe even buy him a baby utensil set, that might help, sliming means you ate too much or too fast or both. I find if I slime too much then I get irritated, then it's a vicous cycle.

I also get the hiccups, I usually stop eating then, even if I don't want to.:cry

Hiccups and belching. How unladylike! But that does usually signal that I better stop or a PB is in the way.

Thanks everyone for the advice; dh and myself will have to slow down eating .It is very hard to train yourself not to inhale your food(haha).

You got that right!!!

Woo hoo Lorely! your own thread!

before i was banded i always got hiccups when i ate too fast and gulped air ( i think), of course just being banded 2 weeks, i have no idea what could cause them now, since i'm still not really eating!

I am a food inhaler. When banded ones describe sliming and getting stuck. I have been doing this for about 5 years, not on a regular basis. If I am very hungry and hurry to eat. Especially bread I get a blockage in my throat and I can neither swallow or spit it out. I can't even swallow my own spit and then what seems like slime (thick saliva) comes out. If I try to drink it only gets worse. (The blockage part) So I have to talk my self into just relaxing and the food goes down. I have not learned my lesson cause it happened to me the day before I started my pre-op diet.

I am thinking I will have to be super careful once I have the band.

Aren't you happy I shared that with you????!!!!

Since we're sharing...preband, i would eat so much that it would kind of come up again at the back of my throat cuz there was no room left in my belly!

HaHa, my story is grosser than yours hehehe

:cheer2: Wow you've lost 15 lbs great job!!! :cheer2:

:puke: Did you know that for every 10 lbs you lose you go down a size!

Your clothes must be getting loose:clap2:
