At lunch today I started to eat some really mushy dressing, with gravy on it and I started to hiccup. I had only taken like two bites and then I started to throw up, like projectile, everywhere! I have never had any problems with this and its been two weeks since I had a fill, weird....Anybody else ever throw up just from the hiccups? I could understand if I had eaten something I wasn't supposed to or if I had eaten too much, but I had barely started to eat!!! Oh I am 8 weeks post op too....

I think the hiccups are related to a spasm; which I had after surgery occassionally. But, my MD prescribed a muscle relaxer to help with that problem which worked. I was told to stay away from bread for quite sometime. Do you use regular utensils? I had to buy small dishes, small silverware so I would eat small amts. Right now I am eating about 1/4 of a cup to 1/2 of a cup at meals the most they want me to take in is 1 cup. Its hard because from what I have read; everyone is different. I have been lucky and have not had any issues with losing weight because I'm down a total of 40 lbs (lost 23 before surgery) since 10/29 and I have yet to have a reguritation or the feeling of hunger. I'm not looking for "bandster hell" but I have not seen it yet. Thank goodness. Good Luck!

Well, you didn't actually throw up (vomit)! That was a productive burp...and you're not the first to describe it to be like projectile vomiting. My first went everywhere, out of mouth like a rocket, LOL.

Hiccups aren't all that uncommon as a full signal or, as in this case, a fake signal. My guess is that the really mushy dressing, which seemed so innocent, formed a sticky ball and got stuck. Soft bread tends to turn into a glutinous lump. I just don't even try to eat soft bread anymore because it gets stuck EVERY time.
