They're not a hiccup, a belch, or a burp. Kind of a combination of all 3. I am 5 days post-op today and darned if I don't get these on a daily basis. Sometimes uncomfortable, always a nuisance. Can't do anything to stop them, so I may as well give them a name!

No regrets on getting lap banded though. A bad day hurlchupping beats a good day gorging.

Smile today - someone will wonder what you're up to...

I always call 'em a "Hickaburp"!

Yep, get those....its usually a sign I ate or drank too fast I am noticing.

I get them too when I eat or drink to fast. Part of the learning process, I guess. We have to learn to slow down. Sigh....so hard after all the years of eating the other way.

Hickaburping and hurlchucking. Well, at least we have increased our vocabulary! :thumbup: I think both words are quite fitting!
