chica125kml 0 Posted December 2, 2010 So I'm just thinking that it's me but does anyone else hiccup after they eat. It started after getting my band and it's really annoying plus a little embarrassing. Let me know if it happens to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mariasha 3 Posted December 2, 2010 I do sometimes. It's usually my bodies way of telling me to slow down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sekinj 0 Posted December 3, 2010 I get hiccups after almost every meal. They usually start about 5 minutes after I stop eating. I know that it would be trouble to eat any more. If they are particularly violent, I know I ate too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
this sucks 557 Posted December 3, 2010 When I start to hiccup, it's a reminder that I need to start paying attention. If I continue eating, it can get pretty messy! I've heard it called a "soft stop" reminder on one of the other lap band sites and I think thats a great way to see it. You aren't in a "stuck" situation, but you could be headed for trouble if you don't slow down or even stop eating. Just my opinion... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sekinj 0 Posted December 3, 2010 I can't use my hiccups as a soft stop because they are delayed and only start after I am done eating. I guess I could wait 5 minutes between bites, but that is kind of hard. I'm continueally looking for other soft stops to pay attention to though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isaviolinist 11 Posted December 3, 2010 I get hiccups after the fact too. Little bit annoying, but I guess a good reminder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LapBandBobbi 8 Posted December 3, 2010 I hiccup 3 times after eating. I also take this as a sign to stop. It's odd though, because it is only 3x's. I've been doing this for the last 3 months since I've gotten good restriction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hokiemama 13 Posted December 3, 2010 I am on week 3 of being banded and I have noticed that almost immediately after my meal, I do one hiccup/burp combo. It doesn't happen every time, but happens if I have eaten too fast I think. I have wondered what it means as well. I'm glad to hear that it's common. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cherishthepast 20 Posted December 3, 2010 So I'm just thinking that it's me but does anyone else hiccup after they eat. It started after getting my band and it's really annoying plus a little embarrassing. Let me know if it happens to you! I get them when I eat to fast. I've also learned that I can't talk while eating, seems I take in too much air and have both hiccups and burbing episodes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slow down and eat less, and I bet they will go away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
