I get the hiccups like 15-20 times per day since I was sleeved on 1/28/13. Anyone else get the hiccups more now than they did pre-op?

Lol' date=' I absolutely do!! I even hiccup in my sleep! I've found that about a tsp of PB2 stops them. Good luck!!![/quote']

Well it makes me feel better to know I am not alone! Ha ha ha!

What does PB2 stand for. I assume Peanut Butter something?

I did early on but it was generally when I'd eat a little too fast.

I'm more of a tortoise than a hare now and the problem as stopped :)

Thanks everyone for the info. The odd thing about mine, is that I get them when I haven't ate or drank anything in awhile. I will slow down more on drinking, and see if I can prevent them at those times. Maybe then it won't seem as annoying when it happens when I haven't ate or drank anything! Ha ha.

I also get the hiccups more often now that Im post-op. My hiccups are a sign that I should not take one more bite or Ill be sorry. First I burp a little, that tells me I have room for maybe one more bite then I hiccup and that means 'put the food down!'. LOL. I love my signals. When I hiccup my hubby will go "youre full!".

PB2 is a powdered Peanut Butter brand that can be mixed into Protein shakes, or whatever you want to mix it in. It has a lot less calories and fat than regular peanut butter. And eventually you can reconstitute it to put on toast . It comes in chocolate PB flavor, too, which is delish!

I get them ALL the time now- I think it happens when I have eaten too much!

Because they happen after a meal. Just my thoughts!

Last night I had a case of the hiccups for no reason at all. It went on for a good 5 minutes. I get them way more frequently now since being sleeved. I dont mind it and my hubby thinks its funny.

I was just wondering this...10 days out and hiccups quite frequently, was hoping it was normal. I'm still on liquids...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
