Single Hiccup?

I was wondering if any of you in my newly banded family have been experiencing anything that I can only describe as a single hiccup-like sensation to your diaphragm area? It isn't comfortable, but it isn't exactly painful and seems to occur when I am not eating or drinking anything. I wonder if it is because I had my hiatal hernia repaired when my band was placed? I'm going to ask about it during my post-op appointment tomorrow, but thought I'd ask you all also.

Hope everyone is doing well!

I think I have been having this too...feels kind of like a lump in your throat but comes in a wave kind of?? Mine has been happening less and less in the last couple days.

I have the single hiccup thats extremely loud. Mine doesn't have a typical time but its something I can't control and I have been given funny looks. I was thinking it had something to do with my lung collapsing during surgery, but maybe not?

I only get them when it is time to stop eating! And it is not one but about 10 and they come straight from hell!

I spoke with my doctor today and he said that my single hiccup sensation is most likely being caused by a combination of the hernia repair and the band -- the hiccup is just my diaphragm's way of showing irritation. He said it would dissipate in time.

Thank you all for letting mr know I wasn't alone with this! Best wishes on a happy and healthy journey to all of you! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
