Anyone else hiccup when they are full?



Recommended Posts

I’m 18 months out and still hiccup when I am full. I love that I have this physical cue to STOP. I’m hoping it never goes away. And a bit terrified that it will one day. Wondering if anyone else has this or had it and it went away?

I've seen other people in the forums talk about getting this cue too.

I'm almost 4 months post-op and I get them when I'm full. I too, hope it stays.

No I just hiccup almost every time just before I vomit, so my fullness symbol would have to be something else. Truthfully I don't think I have had a true fullness signal in the 9 months, one where I stop eating and all is well with me! That's why I still am intimidated enough to never try things with much form to them. Tried to discuss this with Roy, my dietician. He like everyone else didn't listen. Kep telling me how wonderful I looked, how well HE THOUGHT I was doing. It's like drowning in a lake, calling for help and the only person with a life jacket is persisting in talking about how lovely the sunlight looks shining on the Water. Will it take me passing out or getting my blood chemistries out of whack before someone does listen?
I want to do things right, but fearful of swallowing and having it regurgitate again.

i have learned to stop before the hiccups. i also put the fork down between bites and not in a hurry. you will get full and feel it, doesnt take much anymore

Hiccups is my trigger as well. And they go away very quickly. It’s really odd but I don’t mind it.

Yes, but also when I eat too fast. I am working on finding a different clue to stop before I get to the hiccup stage.

Sometimes I get the hiccups, yes. Most often, if I get a pressure in my chest, that's my ultimate warning sign to stop! I must admit, the latter happens if I'm not paying attention and eat too fast >_>

I'm less than a month out, so I'm still learning these new cues😉

Be PERSISTENT on talking to your program support people. I'd even recommend calling your surgeon, if your program allows that. This is NOT normal, and you DESERVE to this addressed. I sometimes still get this cue, but at 23 months it's MUCH harder to feel full than it was at 1st. O don't often have that regurgitation issue anymore, but I DID have it consistently, and for a while. HATED. IT!! & it still occasionally happens, but now rarely. ALWAYS when I have too much or, more likely, eat too FAST! But if you're following all the guidelines and still regularly having this problem, call your surgeon so they can help! It could be a sign of something else happening, and you'll want to know that! Good luck!

Thank you I believe I will follow your advice and calling. It is terrible fearing swallowing.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
