Hi. I am 13 days post op and I am getting hiccups. I am drinking slowly. It takes me 3 hours to drink one protein drink. I will have the hiccups after consuming something or hours later when I haven't had anything. Has anyone else had this?

Are you still taking pain medication? That is a side effect.

I had the hic/burps for a few weeks after surgery. When I get them now I know it's because I've been eating way too fast. Try to slow down. It might help.

I get it also both & I eat very slow each & everytime I eat.

Thanks. I talked to my family doctor and nurse and they think my diaphragm is irritated after surgery. I take really slow sips and put my glass down each time. these hiccups happen around a time when I am not even drinking.

I often have hiccups when I wake up! Annoying!

I had them three times the morning after my surgery, Soooo painful!
