hick-ups then nothing



Recommended Posts

I was eating and while it may have not been the right choice in foods (rice) it was a very small amount. BUT I got the hick-ups, I tryed drinking Water but they just got worse, then I had one big one that hurt and then it was like poof... I have no restriction now. Can the band just open up or break off? I know I need to go see my Dr. but right now that is not a choice. I am on vacation in Egypt and will not return for over a week and then I have to jump through hoops just to see him. I am not in pain but can swallow a bit of meat whole and it goes right down.

Freaked out!

I'm sure you're fine. You don't say how long you've been banded, so I'll assume it's been at least a few weeks. I often get the hiccups when I get something 'stuck', then it goes away, the food goes down and I can continue eating normally again. Sounds like this is what is going on with you. Perhaps you are nearing the time for a fill.

Been banded since May 19th. Thank you for the comfort. I have been on edge ever since it happened. I am starting to feel the ristriction again and have never been in any pain. Glad to hear from you.

Good. Well, I forgot to mention also that rice gives many people problems for some strange reason. Everyone has their 'list' of problem foods and I think you can put rice at the top of yours. People are often surprised at the foods that give problems....like eggs, Pasta, bananas, melon, etc. These things are soft and mushy but yet they still cause problems!? So when you have these issues just pay attention and next time you eat this food proceed very slowly.

Good luck to you!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
