I think my full signal is hiccups! Anyone else have this one? And.. the gurgling has been really obnoxious lately!

I get hiccups, but I don't feel full. Sometimes I think I get hiccups when I'm supposed to be getting full but I'm not sure. I haven't reached my sweet spot just yet.

I just recently figured out that when I get the hiccups that means it is time to quit eating....no matter how little I have ate. It never fails if I try to keep eating past that I feel awful! I think it is bc I was so used to packing myself that I didnt know what being satisfied felt like, so now I let my body (or band) tell me when it is time to stop! Best of luck!

My 'warning' signal is that my nose starts to run. When I was first banded and didn't realize that this was a possible signal, I kept thinking I must be getting a cold or have something 'wrong' with me. After a while it clicked in. The first sensation of my nose running means 'stop or else you'll be sorry'.

Me too! I do stop when I get them. The borborygmi (gas bubbles) can occur when there is undigested food in the intestines. I have been paying a lot of attention to this since I sorta sound like a garbage truck! :thumbup: So... If I really pay attention and chew chew chew... it's not as bad. Maybe try that and see if that helps. :sad:)

Ditto. And the gurgling can sometimes go on for ages after I've stopped eating...

Actually I saw my doctor this week and she said that hiccups and gurgling are signs of being to restricted. When im full I burp like crazy! Weirdest things!!

I burp...or get hiccups...and I gurgle too - ah, the sound of your food passing through your band! LOL I make people laugh when they hear it...mine sounds like something is in pain! ha ha

I am in the same boat except that I get 1 very loud, obnoxious hic-up. I know it is time to stop eating at that point.

I get the hick ups too, and realized that means I should have stopped eating a bite or two before! I used to get the one big what I call a 'hick burp' when I was pregnant! I get it now with my band too. My DH laughs and threatenes to throw a lilly pad my way! I also will get a pain in my left shoulder/neck, which seems weird, but I've read about it here before.

I normally get a short bout within 5 minutes of finishing my food.

I dont have a Warning BEFORE I am full I have it all AFTER I am too full. But I have had hiccups since before I was born. I was actualy worried about getting hiccups with the band because I thought it would make the band slip lol NOPE shoot sometimes I think it helps my food to pass thru better lol

Any Idea on how to stop/ avoid or control the gurgles? My daughter laughs at me all the time! Embarrassing when eating out with adults though...

Happens to me too.. I always thought it was my allergies but then noticed it only happened I eat a little too much. Now I stopped. I also get the gurgling sounds after I eat. Just had a little defill so we'll see if the gurgles stop.

Yup. Hiccups, gurgling and burping. Sometimes I start to slime too. The gurgling has gotten obnoxious the past few months. I feel sorry for my secretary. It seems to be the worst at lunch time.

I get hiccups! That usually reminds me that I should have stopped eating one or two bites early. It's kinda nice because it has helped me learn when to put the fork down.
