Hey everyone! I was banded last thursday and I've already lost 12 pounds, very happy. I feel great now, still a little sore in my tummy, like I did 1000 crunches, but other than that I'm good. I'm able to keep down all my liquids, yogurt, pudding, etc., but everytime I eat or drink anything I get a couple of hic-ups and burp a little, it's almost like a combination of a hic-up and a burp. Anyone else get this feeling?

I was told that those are the soft signs of being full. Some people burp, some sneeze, some hiccup.

HA!

I got all three!!

First, the sneezing.

Then it shifted to hiccups...now I just burp like a truck driver!

(No offense to truck drivers:tongue2:)

I was told that those are the soft signs of being full. Some people burp, some sneeze, some hiccup. You have to be aware of them because if you eat or drink too much after you have them, you will bring stuff back up.

I tend to hiccup.

I came here to do a search on hiccups, as I knew there were zillions of posts on burping. I have to say there aren't many on just hiccuping, but that is what I do almost every meal, just as I start eating and then when I am almost done or done.

I have to agree with Astramom about it being a signal of my quickly approaching full feeling, but why do I hicupp when I first start eating? And actually, they aren't quite a real hiccup, they are more of a backwards burp. I know it's a weird way to describe it, but that in fact is what it is ...more or less.

I am almost two months out since my surgery, and have done this since my very first liquid meal just out of surgery.

They are just a weird phenomenon that occurs I assume because of the surgery more often to be noticed/or as a signal as stated above.

i must say, i have those hic-ups as well, but that's my sign to stop eating or im fixing to vomit. as soon as i get them i know to stop, and everyone else around knows that's my sign haha. kinda like a timer. I was banded July 31.09 30+ pounds gone, I'm at a slow point need a feel I guess.

I've been banded since 2007 and I hiccup all the time. Usually at the end of the meal. I've just learned to live with it being a part of the process. I burp also but I've always been a burper. :cursing:
