Has anyone had issues with painful hiccups when food is trying to pass through the band?

After my surgery and first fill, I would have mild hiccups that lasted about a minute - whereas I had not really ever had them before. Since my second fill to 2.0cc on Monday, the hiccups have increased in intensity, duration, and frequency if I attempt anything more than liquids.< /p>

Thanks!

Hi Tiffany..

Hiccups for me is a sure sign from my band to STOP.. NOW.. (eating that is).. If I eat just a bit to much.. wammo... I get the hiccups and at times they can be pretty intense...

If you are getting the hiccups with just drinking liquids you are toooo tight...

Have they gotten any better since your fill or has it gotten worse?

Sometimes after a fill your stomach is a bit swollen.. may take a few days to go down...

Hi Kathy!

The hiccups usually do not start until after I have completed my meal...let's say 10 minutes afterwards. I have never had them when I only consume liquids....just with soft to solid foods. I'm following the guidelines of slow, small, and well chewed. I just have not seen anyone post too much about dealing with hiccups.

I am getting a little more food consumption down today without the painful knot feeling....but I might still have a little swelling since Monday's fill. I'm just waiting to see if the hiccups come back post lunch.

Thanks for responding!

Hiccups - your diaphragms answer to being 'full'. Hiccups, sudden runny nose, sudden bouts of coughing or sneezing, one single hiccups. All those are your diaphragm being agitated and saying WHOA, you're almost there. And if you go past THERE, lookout.. :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
